The iron heads make up for some of that compared to aluminum heads. I think finished it will come in around 2100 lbs maybe less since I have to put a new chassis under it and it will be chromoly.
Nice! I had no idea rick! Start a tread on that bad boy! hope that goes well on the rest of the build.

Clearly a state of the art pro stock all chrome moly cage with a carbon fiber body and carbon fiber interior with titanium hardware would be significantly lighter. Not to mention a small driver.
