Right now? Gee, I'd take a guess and say that my car weighs in around something like 1500-1600 lbs...

Oh yeah, there's no seats or carpet, no rear window, and no engine or transmission, yet... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

But I'll be getting the car on some scales as soon as it's done and running. I'm hoping something in the neighborhood of 1950-2000 lbs in fighting trim.

I'm guessing your car is the gold standard for a metal car.

Hay Brant.
I'm finally getting around to removing the floor tar from my car(humm, poetry (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) )
Got it bout half done & there's 7 lbs of road hugging weight in the pail.
Lessee 1848-7.....er... carry the 2....1841.
Also got rid of the pass seat & adjuster goodie.....maybe 10 lbs tops. 1831 & dropping.
I can see the 17xxs in my future....less windshield, dash & asociated shittage.
The upper section of the cage is also in the crosshairs.
Then....I have a selection of hole saws...I also see E Mod in my future (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I know the ones down here at the dump are accurate within 20#'s.
Sometimes I'll be weighing in or out and the scale will teeter back and forth between xx20-xx40, for example.

Within 20#'s is good enough for me for "just knowing".

Corner balance- Whole different thread. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

With my tires... flares... long kit.... and bondo?

somewhere around 2400..

Note that each wheel and tire combo is around 50lb on the back.. and a measly 40lb on the front..

(thats street though) With goodyear slicks and cookie cutters, im sure I'd shave 50-100lbs...


Heck... I'd like to get it under 2k..

Anyone think I can do it? its only 350lbs..
