I could not find the differences in weights, but I know someone must have a pretty close idea for these:

- Fiberglass doors, empty vs Two steel doors (73) with window mechanisms?

- Fiberglass hood, with headlight covering vs steel hood and two popup head light assemblies?

- Fiberglass trunk lid with pins vs steel trunk lid with hinges?

I already know the cost of the parts but I am curious how much weight I'd loose doing the above swaps? Thanks for the help.

kellzey,

I think its only about 1lb difference in the fg versus steel front valance..

URY914, with your door skin how much is the total weight once you put it onto a frame of some sort?..
also, the front and rear trunk panels you mention.. are those weights for skins, or panels with hinge attatchments?

finally, does anyone know what a replacement roof like roger sheridans weighs?

thanks everyone.
