Weight difference between glass and steel bumpers on 71 duster/scamp

no real numbers here but the weight lose is huge.
the bumper and brackets are a huge amount of weight lost. like said there is also a big difference in street and race weights. that being said not so much difference in the fenders though. the brackets can be made out of a single piece a .060" aluminum easy for the fronts or you can use two pieces and style them like the factory ones. the back ones a single piece. this is a huge difference too. I was able to find a front splash pan for the front also so my front end is entirely glass with aluminum bolts holding it on. my hood is a hinge type because when I first built the demon it was on the street for the most part. now with the supercharger sticking out it's a lift off. it's a tad heavy but I can manage it by myself if need be. the race weight hood are also a huge difference and you will be able to get it off and on by yourself. going to fiberglass you won't be disappointed in your dollar investment. another weight lose program is using holesaws in everything that gets covered up with a pane. I have two used glass doors with a lot of hardware if you're interested.

Thanks for the insight Bob! For some reason I never got any notifications about this thread and just saw responses now while browsing, but definitely some great ideas here. I am probably going to hole saw whats behind my door panels, my package tray area as well, remove the heater box, glass bumpers (and brackets) and maybe go aluminum heads if I upgrade this winter...aluminum rad, electric fans and possibly even an electric pump might not lighten things up much, but might help free up power that was getting eaten up before.

I am really thinking about going to a pin on hood...I just feel like it would be a PITA for a street car, not because I pop the hood at carshows, but because I might not always have a solid place to rest it and am worried it could possibly blow away lol
