zr1panteraForum Sponsor - SACC Restorations

The car is a 73. The GVWR is 3602 which puts the weight of the vehicle around 3200. So I need to account for a savings of ~550 lbs.

Here is what I could think of so far...

New motor complete: 410 lbs - savings ???
New lightweight AC compressor - savings ???
Carbon Fiber Decklid - savings ???
Removed front bumper - 26lbs removed
Aluminum Shocks - 34lbs removed
Wilwood front brakes - 18lbs removed
Aluminum Radiator - savings ???
Stock AC Evaporator/Shroud/Fan removed - savings ???
Trunk Insert not used - savings ???
Lightweight Starter - savings ???

I think that is about right as I guesstimate the savings. A stock Cleveland from Air Cleaner to Pan including headers must be in the 700lbs range.
