I have a Lone Star with a boat anchor FE and iron heads.
I just scaled the car last night, after replacing all the heim joints and lowering the rear suspension. Here's the numbers.

Total weight = 2663 lbs. with 20 gallons of fuel. (assuming 7lbs. Per Gal.=140)

Left front- 694
Right front- 612
Left rear- 650
Right rear- 708

Total front- 1306
Total rear- 1358

Front- 49%
Rear- 50.9%

A little heavier than I thought but, I believe Lone Star's have one of the strongest frame's and body's. I would be interested what the unsprung weight is. The Team III wheels and 12" wide Good Years in back seem heavy.
