The weight gain is minimal. The car will weigh about 2600 lbs when it is completed. All the bolt on panels are fiberglass (doors, hood, fenders, nose, bumpers, deck lid). Because I am running a 416 cubic inch motor and 18" x 12" wheels, the car must weigh 3100 lbs. I will be adding about 500 lbs of lead / steel to the floor and cage behind the rear seat. All very low and centered weight. And yes, this will be a tricked out CP Camaro with lights that I will occasionally drive on the street. People say I am crazy, but, I have a vision and I am seeing it thru.
