Haven't had a chance to get it in the garage and on the scales yet. Title weight for a 210 sedan is like 3280 lbs.

Done away with the front inner fenders and all the brackets and bracing. Bumpers will be figerglass...interior will be 2 'glass drag seats and a 4 point roll bar... Thinking maybe some aluminum door and deck lid skins, lexan windows all the way around..... Don't think 2700 should be a problem...?
