This an old thread from last June and I missed it because I was busy with other stuff, but I have been wondering for a long time what my '29 full fendered fiberglass Model-A will weigh? I really felt weight conscious when I mounted the beautiful stainless bumpers which I believe are heavier than the bumpers shown by Deuce above. The Model-A books say the '29 roadster weighed 2265 pounds stock and the tables say a SBC with an aluminum intake weighs about 535 pounds but I do not know the weight of my 700R4 versus the puny three speed box of the Model-A and while the Model-A block might be as light as 350 pounds, that enormous flywheel/clutch setup has to weigh a lot. As usual I am asking a Model-A question in a Deuce thread but I am guessing the final weight will be in the 2400 pound range? I got the stainless A bumpers for looks and protection of the 'glass fenders but boy they are at least 50 pounds each! Does anybody have an actual weight for a '29 roadster with a SBC drive line? Probably the weight is close to that of the beautiful steel '32 Deuce shows above? I have the smaller 8" rear but the difference between that and the 9" is only about 50 pounds, right?
