It's the car in sig photo, does have alum floor panels, but dana, filled block, all orig glass windows, factory dash, door panels, headliner, bumpers, etc. Car weight is without my butt in it. 3500 lbs with me. A fiberglass fenders, doors, bumpers, hood, trunk, etc should be well under 3000 lbs driveable. My guess would be somewhere around 2800-2900 lbs. David

Sam, I hope you don't mind, I'm currently using your signature pic as my phone wallpaper, and I've now added Angelo's picture to my collection. My 67 Satellite weighs in at 3600 withOUT my 175 in the seat. It's pretty much stone stock with a 451 in place of the orig. 383. Aluminum heads, intake, and radiator are about the only weight savings on the car. Its also had subframe connectors and SSM lift/traction bars added, and runs full dual exhaust and steel wheels, which aren't light. Last edited by GEnsrud; 01/22/11 01:56 PM.

Body is all stock but it does have a glass hood. I added a 6 point rollbar and frame connectors so I guess without them it would weigh in the 3400 to 3450 area. Ron
