you can stay all metal and still get the weight down..
I've got metal front and rear lids, with metal doors and metal fenders 1826 wet. it just takes a lot of work but the metal keeps it more vintage eligible with more clubs..... |

With a 3 liter and a 901, our car weighs 2052. We do have 15 quarts of oil, so that is 28 pounds. We have glass lids and glass fenders. I'm not sure how we could get another 200 pounds out of the car. |

I'm not sure how we could get another 200 pounds out of the car. its all in attention to detail. we run 19quarts of oil, so just shy of a 5 gallon bucket of royal purple with the twin front oil coolers.... we run a six, and a 901 also and still get to that weight. our weight is wet with the oil and 4 gallons of fuel. our mag case probably saves 20lbs over a 3.0/6 its a lot of aluminum brackets and attention to detail. you can see nearly all of our tricks in the build thread. we built with a $50/ lb rule.... ie: if we could save a pound for under $50 and stay legal (metal) it was worth considering.
