Putting your car on a diet -- ideas on where to shave weight

Check out how heavy the seats are. Get some aluminium drag seats upholstered to match your interior!

I'm questioning the seat weight. My bench seat is considerably lighter than the buckets together. I need a bigger scale.

The bench seat I took out of my 65 Belvedere weighed 100 lbs., and the bench seat I removed from a 79 Volare weighed 75 lbs. These were weighed on a pretty accurate medical scale and just my own personal observations.

Yeah, could be the old memory playing with me. I'll have to weight the bucket seat I have in storage.

Oh yes the bench seat is very heavy. You can probably save a good 50lbs or more on that.
