I made my first step into weight reduction....by accident.
I orded a new rad for the Caprice since the one is leaking. So Koll and I took it out and realized that what I pulled out looked ot be a copper with metal side tanks, while the one going in is aluminum with plastic side tanks...a much lighter radiator.
Id say almost 20 lbs off the front end.

 Go Al!
copper-brass radiators are worth a decent chunk of change at the scrapyard too...

Fill the tires with helium..... and fill the trunk and passenger compartment with helium balloons.
Lighter = better!

The Helium will most likely leak out from the tires within a few weeks, and you would have to constantly be putting air in them.
