I am thinking of building a 65 belvedere drag car but dont want to spend a ton on the motor for now. So the car need to be as light as i can get it. The problem is i dont want to start cutting up the car if it will never actually be that light. So i was wondering if anyone could give me a close estimate of the weight of the finished product.

Its gonna have a mild 440 (very mild), Dana 60, and all the weight shed that we can. It will be strictly a drag car.

I am eventually gonna put a nasty motor in but i honestly need seat time.

Any opinions would be appreciated!!
