I remember reading somewhere once that Sox & Martin filled the wing full of lead to get more weight over the wheels!!!

The Jack Werst superbird had solid steel speaker shelf solid tail lights and wheel base altered in the front for a edge at the starting line

 2 Race Superbirds were built according to this

First off, the rear axle is moved forward 2-1/2 inches, and the wheel well is opened up. Why isn't it obvious? Hamerly's job, as the painter, was to use colors and create patterns that would distract the eye from the alterations. Obviously, he was successful. The engine is moved back 2 in. The right front wheel is moved 1-1/2 forward of the front left, for a big advantage in the staging beams. The fenders and hood are lightweight metal (not acid-dipped). The rear glass is thicker and heavier than stock, and the filler panel around the glass is weighted. Also weighted is the upper center tail panel, and there's additional weight behind the tail lamps. The wing supports are pot metal, but the top of the wing is heavier than stock. A 1-1/2-in. thick sheet of lead, hidden underneath the rear package tray, runs the width of the car. Other mods that probably were legal, included a Prestolite transistor ignition up in the nose of the car, and an auxiliary electric fuel pump inside the frame above the left rear wheel.
