Mr.Dave... All the steel I bought for this build was around 700 LBS give are take.. All the tubing is 11 gauge.. And the steel sheets are 16 gauge... I can pick up the back of the car by myself... I also didn't use all the steel I bought.. And the pictures make it look bigger then it really is.. I'm going to say this car won't be over 2700 lbs dressed out.. I can post a list of the steel, If anyone would like to add it up.. A sheet of 4'x8' 16 gauge steel is 80lbs.. I used 4.5 sheets, That's 360lbs.. 6 -20' 1x1x11gauge tubing, 2-20'1''x2'' x11 gauge tubing, And 1-24' 2''x4''x1/8'' tubing, I want to say everything was some wheres around 600 or 700lbs.. Give are take..Hope this helps you..

I hope it has some weight, It will only ride better..
