The best thing I can suggest is to call me as we can alter layups for track day cars if you'd like (or do a light street layup)....

The lightest we've done to date is 3,230 to date.. That was a front clip and we started with a 3,670lbs car... The car had a weight balance of 51% front and 49% rear and handles like a champ... We have a car currently that has more carbon on it so I'm guessing it'll be around 3,000 range..

If you're really looking to go the whole nine yards we are molding up a second gen roof, partial floors (almost complete less torque boxes & cross members), partial firewall, quarters, trunk drop (already done), and trunk floor over the next several months... Carbon Kustom will be offering rolling chassis packages hopefully by the end of 3/4 2015... We have initiated work with DSE to develop the potential of a DSE/Carbon Kustoms mixed Composite and steel sub-frame that will take substantial weight out of the sub...

Personally I am building a 2nd gen 70 Camaro that has a desired street weight of 2,400-2,600 lbs (see rendering below)...



Every part will be mixed composites except for the rockers, B post and pillars, torque boxes (hence partial floor mentioned above) and floor panel between the inner rear wells that transitions from lower floor to trunk floor... The car will also have a cage and bay bars... Feel free to call me if you have any more questions at 416-566-9660

Tony was using PPG band epoxy primer and I'll have to look at the black paint selected as I frankly don't remember....

Default Trans am

Not sure I am ready to jump that far yet
Mine was 3710 a year and a half ago Been lighten
Things up and was hoping to get to 3250

Saw a second gen Drag racer a few years back that was nice
With plexi windows weighing 2650 my mustang was 2830
I miss the light car

Hobaug is 3000 but he put some weight in
For his Scca class

Pozzi told me a few weeks ago she was at 3400

I saw your car at semi with the Bfg wrap last year

Look forward to seeing your rollers a front ends

Thanks

Panteracer

Np 3,250 is very achievable with fenders, inner wells, hood and nose I'd say (maybe a custom rad support)...

Thanks ... I was looking into SEM hot rod black, I didn't know if it held up to the abuse a daily driver might see.

Default Suggestion to use SPI Epoxy Primers........

Suggestion to buy direct from http://www.southernpolyurethanes.com/

and get a high quality product at a direct to you shipped price
with best in industry customer support.

And put the cost savings toward your expensive suspension parts

Popped by Tony's today and we did a super fast test mount of the Carbon TA fenders for Cherokee Soldier, fit nice and we were both very pleased with fitment right out of the mold.... This car is such a clean & straight shell I'm thinking the panel gaping efforts should move pretty quickly all things equal....

Watch in the coming weeks for the debut of "Rick's Tanks" new F-body stamped gas tank on the build...
