Fiberglass fenders on the street?

Hey guys,

I have a real nice steel front end for a 71 Demon clone I'm doing right now. I was just thinking of ways to reduce weight and am considering fiberglass hood and fenders. Is there any specific advantage or disadvantage to going with a fiberglass front end for a non-strip car - aside from the obvious weight savngs?

This car is going to be a pro-touring type car and I would think that eliminating some front-end weight will help balance front/back weight ratio.

If I go w/ the fiberglass, I'd be selling a real nice 70/71 front clip w/ a nice 72 snorkle scoop.


Thanks.
