The weekend we took some of the parts off the car in preparation for the electric conversion. I have attached a picture, I hope it shows up. The dime in the picture is for scale.

Here is the tally of the weight lost so far:

1) Catalytic converter, muffler, tailpipe 31 lbs
2) radiator 10 lbs
3) trailer hitch 29 lbs
4) exhaust manifold 33 lbs
5) overflow tank 1 lb

Total weight: 104 lbs

To get the weights, I used this trick I learned in chemistry class. I stood on a bathroom scale, found my weight, then lifted up a part, found the weight of me and the part, did some subtraction.

I figure with the loss of the water in the radiator, which I didnt weigh, there oughta be 110 lbs lost, and I haven't removed the engine yet. Finding out the weight of the engine with the bathroom scale might get tricky.

If anyone wants any of these parts, I figure I'd sell them for a dollar a pound.
