I know for sure the quarter window regulator weighs 15 lbs per side. No idea on the rest.

He can tell you the weight loss of going with electric windows vs crank windows etc,etc,etc.Plus how much you can save bu gutting a steering column.

I weighed some of the body panels and glass when we put our 69 Dart on a diet a few years ago, here are my notes:

Doors complete w/ glass and regulators 68.5lbs. ea.
Deck lid 48lbs.
Deck lid hinges 1.5lbs. ea.
Quarter glass & regulators 15lbs. ea.
Rear glass 17lbs.

Start with simply gutting what you have. Don't cost a ton of money and you can remove ALOT of weight this way. Get the holesaw out an start making holes. EVRYWHERE....You need to check out the red car at a race to see how far we go....
