65 CORONET SLIM DOWN

[FLY 9999]

This is what I have-'65 Coronet with fiberglass bumpers and hood. Other than the usual acid dip and aluminum bolts, poly seats and stripping out the interior(its a street driven car) any other way to slim it down? THX

Any source for fiberglass fenders? Looked at a few sites and only hood and bumpers are available.

Sled City has glass frt. fenders

Lexan and regulators (not including windshield) is worth 85 lbs on a 64 sedan. My fronts and vents still function. Composite leaf springs are a ton lighter. Light bumper brackets saved 23lbs
