Since I've known you, you added a fiberglass deck lid and gutted the doors, but you also added a wing, but also got rid of the radiator support, so I revoke my first statement, how's 1685lbs.

I thought you were another Mike Peters and drilled holes in anything you could... :smt005

I'm only talking about the body work and paint. It weighed 1733 when I took it to the body shop. I'll be real happy if it didn't increase the weight, but I'll certainly take a 48 lb weight reduction,

but now I understand.....boy do I feel stupid ;)

Here's a little preview. I painted the backsides of the doors today. Everything except the hood and genders should be painted by Sunday.
