Scales, for a car

[kilgojr]

Anyone have a setup that I can put the Miata on before I start adding things to it? I want to get a weight of the car before so I kinda know where to go from here.

Partsgroup has a set but I would think someone in town would as well.

Chuck B. has a set, had a set, haven't talked to him in a bit. David Leonard does too...Speedsouth

If you just want overall weight ride out to a salvage place, pullapart weighed my escort for me back on the day, but I knew one of the guys that used to work there.

I don't think this car is gonna "ride out" anywhere

this is very true. although, the great thing about Alabama, is I'm pretty sure I could get a tag and title for even this thing.

As long as the vin on the dash matches the vin on the title and the color is somewhat the same, no problem.

Dash? uh, this thing doesn't have a dash, or doors, or a windshield.

Just glue the vin plate that was on the dash onto something near where a dash would be.

Load the car and take the whole rig, truck, trailer, and car, to the salvage place. Pull onto the scale and get a weight. Unload car, reweigh the rig. This has worked many times for a good, maybe-better-than ballpark figure when I couldn't access proper scales. Also, it was free. I know of one place 1 block from I20 in Moody. The scale is next to the road so it is extra easy access.
