Any idea how much weight is saved by going to FG hood, trunk and bumpers?

Of course I forgot to weigh my hood and trunk before I put them back on the car.

Thanks,
david

that sound promising,

Adds up to about 75 - 80 pounds savings not counting headlights.

I guess we could get the car down to 1800 pounds and keep the classic look of the car.

thanks,
