Joe,
Do you have a close estimate as to the weight of the Kirkham coupe?
Thanks,
Chris

Any who, if you add the 2,117 lbs and the 12 lbs for the fire suppression system, which I have, and I'm no math genius, (I am  , then that doesn't equal the 2,180 lbs that you posted in the other thread. I hate to quibble over 51 lbs, but hey, I'm a quibbler. |

The car I just weighed was 2,117. I am sure that the new battery, hubs and side pipes add to the lightness. (Can you add to lightness? I think Colin Chapman said that you could...)
Any reason you want the car to be heavier? We could add some ballast ports to your main frame rails.

No, no, I don't want the car to be heavier. Do you know how much the new hubs, sidepipes and battery changed the weight? Is 550 the first car to have the new hubs and battery? I don't think mine, 539, had those items. Certainly not the sidepipes. 
Truly, you guys are amazing up there in UT. My '66 BB Vette Roadster is about 1,000 lbs heavier with just a little more HP.
I want my Kirkham on the road already.  |

RodKnock,
Your car has the same hubs and battery but not the side pipes.
