Reason: Because I can
The car has nothing missing except the privacy curtain and the speaker covers, original air cleaner changed to a eps intake from cast iron weighs 3272 without me in it

My car is 3300 full tank of gas with a roll cage. w/o me in it. I also have old sphon big nut tubular LCA's, panhard bar, torque arm, weight jacks, the use-to-be-edelbrock-now-qa1 strut tower brace, 17" 4th gen SS wheels. All of these things add significant weight but are necessary because the factory versions of these parts are about as strong as a wet noodle.

Yes I plan on adding sub frame connectors and some suspension components down the road, I have a mild 406 and a 3 inch exhaust and a fiber glass hardwood hood going in and on within the next 2 months
Side to side weight split is really good for one of these cars. Front is really close. Curious about the rear split: do you have spare tire and hack in the trunk? What condition is your rear suspension?
Wish I could afford wheel scales right now. It's amazing how much improvement you can make in handling with cars by getting the corner weights even.
Going to shift stuff or add weight to balance? Could make a noticeable different in handling.
Are your rear shocks and springs in good shape? Uneven weight reading can also be an indicator one side is sagging.
I may remove the spare and jack and re-weigh it, I replaced the two front springs last year because they were broken the back springs could very well be sagging shocks seem to be working well I do have some junk in the car, set of headers 2 pairs of steel toes half a bottle of 7 up and a book bag full of apprenticeship stuff
