So, where are the Pontiacs and the early Ford factory cars?







A good example of the drilled frame rails in this link.

1963 Pontiac Swiss Cheese



or

2012 Swiss Cheese


Question,
* Does anyone know the number of holes cut into the 1963 Catalina SD-421 'Swiss Cheese Car'.
* The size of the holes,,
* And amount of weight it took of the frame,,

[Hemi Moose]

I'll have a "Swiss Cheese, Aluminum, & Fiberglass" on rye sandwich" please...

Take a look at this restored Super Duty '63 Tempest built with a aluminum front end and other lightweight parts...I'll have one of these as a side dish.

I gave up after trying to count those #$%&@ holes...but I'll take guess and say it saved 100 lbs.

Read a couple of places where the number was around 120 total in the frame.
