Chuck Beck's personal car--the one that did pretty well at the Run n' Gun a year or two ago--has a body so thin you can practically see through it. I've heard that car weighs somewhere around 1,700 pounds. My car, and I would think most of the "regular production" Listers, has significantly thicker bodywork. Now that production is being handled by Avanti I wonder where the current crop of kits will scale...maybe one of the magazines will test one--
