  12. I'd say it all weighs up to a bad ass coupe! That thing is super nice.

    Ya, Im in for 2400.....the rear axle is nowhere close to a ford 9 inch.
    FWIW....my 29 weighs 2570 the floor is built like a tank and it has a lot of roll cage in it.

  17. Chris,

    There is a public scale at the Burbank recycle center, you can see the readout by just driving up to the front entrance.

    Here's a picture that we took of my brothers Harley on the scale, its that easy.

    Do you guys have any CAT brand scales at any truck stops in the area. We have them around here and I think they are free. Or just drive down to your local recycler of metal. You usually drive across scales at those places. They should let you. I doubt they would turn away a car that looks that good. If they do take a peice of scrap metal with you and tell them you want to recycle it.:D
     
  20. I wonder if there is anything like that in the Houston area?
     
  21. Cool man, right between Victory and the 5 Freeway??, I think I know where that is, but please confirm.
     
  22. Ya, it is the one right under the freeway by the new Home depot.

    Here is there address so you can google it or what ever your preference is,

    Burbank Recycle Center
    500 South Flower Street
    Burbank, CA 91502
    818 841-9700
