But does anyone know the approximate weight difference between fiberglass and steel fenders? It's for a 65 coronet, but really just looking for a ballpark figure.

Thank you,

Depends on the parts. The Coronet fenders are not super heavy by themselves and some glass parts are pretty heavy depending on who laid them up. You might be able to save 5 to 10 lbs per fender depending on which parts you use. Most fiberglass fenders fit like crap so if you want the car to look nice you'll spend a lot of time and money at the body shop.
