Car weight

Update, I went with the converter that Todd at Coan recommended . He races and said or thought that I would like the converter he recommended. I finally am very close to engine start, but it's winter here in NW Illinois. So I am 3 1/2 months away from driving it. My biggest 2 problems were having to ad a heim and another u-joint to get around the #5 header tube and the forward facing shift cable. Time will tell if the cable lives. So weighing it will come, I am curious to see what it comes in at. Scale figures here seem to be all over the place, all cars are a little different and so are scales!
Will try to remember to circle back here and let you know what it weighs and how close I got with the recommended converter.
Thank you all for contributing.

What ever it weighs you can always make it lighter. The trick is to make it look like factory appearing. My 64 weighs just over 3100 empty. All steel except the hood. Love your car.

Looking for a ballpark weight of my Hemi RR. Switching from a 4-speed to automatic. Street car. Tubbed, not back haved. Dana 60, ladder bar coilover. Tubular front suspension coilover, manual rack and pinion. Roll cage, 2 factory buckets. Drag star wheels. Aluminum radiator. The trans people are asking questions for trans and conver. Am I in the ballpark saying 3,700? Automatics are new to me, maybe it doesn't matter on the street. I have never weighted the car, haven't even driven it yet. 3-3500 stall?
I have nothing to add other than a guess of 3550.
