    I think you'll find his weight to be a good approximation.
    My full fendered '31 coupe w/ 2" x 4" tube frame 3/16th wall (so heavy)
    weighted 2700# w/an SBC and a Muncie alum case trans.

    The roadster, with an eye on the scale during building, open wheeled
    no cast iron, AL 4 banger, AL vette rear and mostly open '32 rails is <1500+ lbs.
    With luck, anywhere in the neighborhood of 2600# is reasonable.

    My Model A fenderless coupe weighed in at 2480 on a certified scale. That was with a full (16 gallon) tank of gas, but before I added some sound deadener, aluminum interior panels, and an aluminum hood. I'd say it's at 2550 now.

    I was surprised to find out my altered in my avatar was 2006#s with me in it after a pass. That's a cast iron headed 392 that is full of hardblock. I go in at 180#
    It adds up.....................

    Wow, that's a lot. My '30 closed cab pickup with 'glass fenders/steel cab and bed, a SFB and toploader weighed 2740. How does yours weigh nearly 400 lbs more with similar stuff and no roof?
     
  20. Zookeeper--I really have no answer to that. My frame is an original A frame, boxed full length. The rearend is a 1988 S10. The box on mine is made of a much thicker steel, #14 ga., and the valances below the box are made from #12 ga. steel, but I doubt that can explain away 400 pounds. My rear fender spacers are made from 1" square tube with a 1/8" wall, and since I had to pretty well eliminate the subrails when I shortened the sedan body to make my pick-up cab, I used a peice of 3/16" steel plate as the "floor" and built the body up around it. I guess its just that a lot of little "extras" add up.---Brian

  22. I don't have my Ford book right in front of me but I think it says the shipping weight stock is around 2800 lbs give or take.
