581 lbs. in front (35.4%) + 1059 lbs. (64.6%) in back = 1640 total.
This is the complete car, after being driven once around the block, less the body, radiator shrouds, passenger seat, seat belts, lights, windscreen and bumpers. Includes 2.5 gallons of gas, 8.5 quarts of oil in the dry sump, 4 quarts of oil in the transaxle and full of coolant. I think the goal of 1750 lbs. total finished weight is realistic.
Also installed the radiator fans today and trailered it to a local cruise night car show. Needless to say, it was the hit of the show. I actually feel sorry for the guys with really nice cars that sit alone while the crowd descends on and gawks at my little Hot Rod. :)
