Doc...for you to have "fiberglass" in your handle, you don't seem to up on current composites. A full body, for a pro-mod type car these days, made of glass, high quality glass, is still nearly 300 pounds. A high quality Carbon body, for that same car, from Hairy, McAmis or any of the other top composite shops, will weigh about 70lbs and cost you 8500-10,000. That is a "complete" body.

As for what parts weigh. The hood on our drag radial Buick, is a nice piece, from Glastek, weighs about 25lbs. The entire carbon front end, with the titanium tree, on the pro-mod car, weighs 12 lbs.

Carbon Fiber, is also much more durable and more flexible that regular fiberglass. I have a sheet I bought from McAmis, to make some door panels and gauge panels. You can fold the stuff double and it does not crack.
