Here's the Gem from Carlisle. A 1964-65' A-864-A-990 Corning rear back glass at half the weight. The current in car stock one weighed 22 Lbs when I had it out of the car during painting. This new addition scheduled to be installed next Winter is a measly 12 Lbs.

As the Dremel wheel tells, here's a start up to my light-headlight campaign. Factored in with those plastic head light bulbs and we can stand to see a pound or two shaved right at the very front of the car. Of course these buckets will receive a cote of reflective silver or opaque White to help the bulbs radiate their light.

Here's the whole unit painted and ready for reassembly on the car. This process though not earth shattering numbers saved a whopping 4-1/2 ounces for both sides. Add in the plastic head light coming in the mail and we could be looking at 2 pounds total for both sides. Some cars have even heavier headlight buckets where this trick can save even more. Money spent? just a few hours on the workbench. Oh, I forgot, $2.00 for the experimental buckets.
