Quote: If I remember correctly from 10 years back, a distant friends 64' Dodge 500 Polara Hardtop that we were putting on a slight diet had his steel front bumper coming in at 36 lbs alone. The brackets I honestly do not remember as he never kept detailed logs like I do and he let it go out the back door at the end. My 65' front bumper came in at 27-1/2 lbs and I know that his was heavier because the 64's were slightly longer cars and a tad heavier than the 65's. I don't use Fiberglass but I would give a good guesstimate for a front bumper to be at 3-5 lbs alone.
The 64' bumper brackets were bulkier than the simple 65's. Slightly easier to make out of Aluminum, but there's a slight radius that needs to be respected so that the bumper fits like stock.
64 front bumper 22.5lbs, rear bumper 24lbs. All brackets front and rear 26lbs. All 6 bumper brackets in carbon fiber 2lbs. AAR fiberglas hood, 21lbs, very nice hood. Aluminum pins and brackets, of coarse. Doug
