All the rest of the sheet metal, floor pan, and frame rails are stock. With no fuel or driver it is 3100. What else did you trim?

Doug 64's are already lighter then mine is due to it being dimensionally a smaller car. Mine is done very similar to the way you have yours, ladder bar, Dana, 727, stock floor and rails. My cage is mild steel as well. For mine I found a lot of savings in the dash and in the inner structure of the car, all the inner bracing of the unibody has had some meat removed. I also believe most people think these cars are heavier stock then they actually are because the 73-74 b bodies are substantially heavier, there isn't much different between these cars and a 68-70 b or e body for that matter.
