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.

Glass hood,bumper,lexan side and rear windows,light bucket seats,mild full cage,mega block. Hope the Belvedere is lighter Doug 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... http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v506/smokinwoody/63%20Dodge%20back%20in/?albumview=slideshow 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...
