Any updates?
I seen them weight from 3500-3850 lbs
How accurate of a weight do you want?
Curb weight of a 1971 Camaro was around 3313 lbs

Looks great Tim.
For some reason, this line popped into my head about a 3-legged woman not having no soul. Or something to that effect.

Loosing it. All the sheetmetal is not on the front. This car will be "almost" stock appearing on the outside,except for 17's and sidepipes.There are a few minor things but will save that for another time. Also any one that is in the Indy area is welcome to stop by the shop and see the toys. Thanx TIM Winners Circle Muscle and Rods.
