My point is if you build the car with modern components and modern comforts, your weight won't be that far off the new mustangs.
My 70 Challenger will be about 3100-3000lbs or sub-2900lbs... depending on what powertrain i go with. Thats with REALLY FAT rollers, big brakes, 8 3/4", good suspension, full exhaust system, many steel chassis mods, working wipers/heater, NO major fiberglass, NO lexan, no gutted one-seat interior, and from the casual onlooker, absolutely no visible weight-reduction mods. Thats without spending a billion dollars too. Phase two will make it even lighter as i can afford some ov the slick lightweight wheel, brake and suspension systems you guys can. Let me fudge the budget just another 10K, still faaar less than many here have into the retro-supercars, and i'll drop it even less.
