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. |

QUOTE(URY914 @ Jul 5 2004, 04:06 AM) Doors: Late model doors with the beam in them with glass and everything is somewhere around 30 pounds. A f/g door with the inner panel like GT Products sells is around 10 pounds. The door skins that I make (and sell BTW) are 4 pounds. Front hood: Stock is about 35 pounds with hinges and headlight covers. More when you remove all the headlight crap. F/g hood is around 12-14 pounds Read trunk lid: about 30 pounds. F/g trunk would be 10-11 Also replace the roof with a lightweight piece and save another 10 pounds. Paul Do you make any 911 stuff? I wanna convert the cab over to an early long hood and RS style turn signals.... |
