I weighed my '57 Custom Tudor Sedan today.  Without me, and a full tank off gas, it weighed #3940.   

That seems pretty heavy to me.    352 CI Y-Block, 1/2" main girdle, Moldex Billet crank, VR57 Supercharger with factory brackets and air cleaner, Mummert Aluminum Heads, Blue Thunder Aluminum Intake, Aluminum Timing Cover, Tremec TKO transmission, Aluminum driveshaft, 13" Baer Brakes, Nodular Nine with Detroit Locker, Aluminum Radiator and MSD 6ALBTM box, Holley Black Fuel Pump, and full 2 1/4 exhaust system.

100% stock body and interior.  

It does have working hang on AC, a full stereo system (six speakers, two amps, and 10'sub in small box), and sound deadening under the carpet.   The trunk has light weight '03 Cobra Spare tire, a small loaded tool box, and an aluminum floor jack. 

Yes, I removed the baby seats before weighing.

It weighed more than I expected, considering its not that far from stock, with many lightweight parts.

I would rather it be comfortable, quite, and cool, then dump a bunch of features to lighten it up.

I'll just keep working on the motor to make it faster.
