I could not find the differences in weights, but I know someone must have a pretty close idea for these:
- Fiberglass doors, empty vs Two steel doors (73) with window mechanisms? - Fiberglass hood, with headlight covering vs steel hood and two popup head light assemblies? - Fiberglass trunk lid with pins vs steel trunk lid with hinges? I already know the cost of the parts but I am curious how much weight I'd loose doing the above swaps? Thanks for the help. |

Other things that that can make a difference...
Weight removal... 1. Rubber pad behind backpad in interior 2. Back pad removal 3. Engine side firewall 4. Tar on floors 5. Carpeting 6. Fiberglass bumpers vs stell and rubber and tits 7. fiberglass vs. steel rockers 8. Fiberglass vs. steel valences Things that can add Chassis stiffening kit plus weight off all the welds (it adds up) Steel flares will adda few pounds on each quarter Heavier rotors and calipers Wider wheels and tires. |
