Paul,

I'm sitting on the edge of my seat!

what did whe weigh today

brant

:PERMAGRIN: Joe

lbs?

Drum roll, please....

1,407 lbs.

I was a little disappointed but I have an excuse for 30 pounds of it.
I put 5 gallons on gas (at approx. 6 pounds/gallon) in it because I thought
I may run it on the track.

The goal is to get it to 1,350. If I subtract the 30 pounds for fuel load and 20 total pounds when I change to slicks, I'll just about be there. I guess I shouldn't have used the heavy primer.

I'll post a full report with photos tonight.

Was the primer lead based?

Where did the rear spoiler and oil cooler go?

Car is looking good, Paul.

Very nice. Red vehicles get the most tickets by those police people. Will it be a daily driver?? It seems to be missing one of those Porsche hood ornemental thingamawatchees. You could use a sticker type and save the extra weight factor. MSG L

Hah! Sorry Paul. Back to the drawing board for ya. I just got my car off the scale. 1345lbs!!!
Cheers, Elliot

now but the engine and tranny back in!!

loElliot..

Fiberglass is heavy, use balsa next time..
