I have not weighed my JCF slabside but will soon. My Beck Lister recently scaled at 1,992 pounds with about six gallons of gas on board. I think the only consistent thing about kit car weight is that it's always more than you think it will be. I did the all-alloy motor on my Lister, aluminum-cased Muncie, lightweight battery, ultra-short battery cables, etc. in an effort to keep things as light as possible, and figured she'd probably come in closer to 1,900 with all the fluids on board, but as you can see I was off by 100 pounds--
