What the average b-Body weigh? No tube chassis stuff. With out driver to keep it even. The old 63 Dodge was about 3250. Glass hood,bumper,lexan side and rear windows,light bucket seats,mild full cage,mega block. Hope the Belvedere is lighter

I dunno but that inner headlight delete grille is pretty cool!

I've restored one of those and it's no picnic!

My '69 road runner weighed 3510 w/o me in it.
That was all steel...including hood and bumpers, full stock interior, power steering, all iron big block, factory a/c and heater box under the dash, and steel 14" road wheels. Basically a bone stock road runner w/ a 383.

Should be significantly lighter when it comes back out.

just by going what I have so far...I doubt if my 63 is 1200-1400lbs totally empty..adding the rear suspension and 9", maybe another 200lbs at the most

engine and trans maybe 700-800lbs wet..the cage will be all CM so maybe another 150-200lbs and maybe another 150 with the alterKtion and Wildwood brakes...toss another 150 for wheels and tires...

so anywhere from 2600-2800 lbs...

the front end is acid dipped, I'll be using fiberglass bumpers and hood...stock glass and 2 light weight buckets...

since I havent weighed it, its all speculation, but I doubt if Im far off..Im having trouble deciding on what coil weight I should get..I have the Hyper-Coils that are 170lb rated and I know they are way to stiff...I think I need 900-1000 lb rated coils...

so I doubt if I have 950lbs over the rear when finished...

'64 Belvedere 2Dr Hdtp - ALL steel except hood. All stock except roll bar, racing buckets, Cal-Tracs. Rear seat still in, all windows, lights, etc. Iron 440 w/ iron Max Wedge heads and factory M/W intake = 3400 lbs

'65 Coronet 440 2Dr Hdtp , same except glass bumpers, ladder bars = 3385 lbs.

Seems to be true that the Plymouths are ~100 lbs lighter!
