My fairlane's frame from the rear bumper all t he way to the gas pedal has been replaced with an aftermarket kit and coil over/ladder bar kit the floor pans trunk bottom and wheel wells are all thin sheetmetal,basically back halved for pro street any idea of the weight savings(Iwill take it to the scales after completion but curious for cam selection and converter selection. _________________ 63 fairlane 351 c 4v tunnel ram

They ranged from 2154lbs for a 6 cylinder 2 dr to 3352 lbs for a v8 squire station wagon. S o rogers guess is probably about right. If your car is drivable and you have a company with a weight bridge locally they might weigh it for you. _________________ 66 hardtop downunder
yeah I wish I could drive it cant find any headers as of yet an I only have 2v exhaust manifolds that I am scared to bolt to the 4v heads..the 2v manifolds were within a 1/4 of an inch of the lower shock tower and frame area when the 2v setup was in there..I am hoping for 2800lbs there is no rear seat no carpet no headliner no gas tank only a light weight fuel cell all aluminum weld wheels and light weight mickey thomson tires no drums has disk in rear and front,rear is narrowed no leaf springs no ac no ps no insulation no interior other than fiberglass seats a tach dash and glove box lol just ewnough wiring for headlights brake lights and blinkers..well only way to know will be to weigh it ..guess I can weigh the truck and trailer then load the car and weigh the whole thing car truck and trailer and subtract out the truck and trailer weight from before. _________________ 63 fairlane 351 c 4v tunnel ram
