Probably none at all. I know the door panels and quarter panels and dash are all lighter than the original. The only part that MIGHT be heavier than the stock is the headliner and if it is its not by much. Alll the stock panels were either made from partical board or steel. Everything here is aluminum.

Hey Troy,

Can you shed some light on your metal finishing practices? I know you tig everything which makes cleaning it up easier. Do you finish with a DA or random orbital? What grit? I've only seen a small angle die grinder in your pictures.

I don't think I've ever seen such uniform finishing, its jaw dropping! I keep going through this thread just to try to glean more
insight!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

As far as the offset inserts go we used a step die in our pullmax machine to acheive this. I will post pics of both once I am back at work.

I made an engine cover out of aluminum. I have welded it before just not to to the extent of what I was doing. Welding both sides is pretty much a must. I really wish i had a pullmax....

This looks amazing btw...it does.
