Re: Ever wonder what that fiberglass front end saved you weight wise?

I LIKE the weight savings.... BUT the "cool factor" of having a "tilt" is also important to a nostalgia-based" hot rodder like me.... in addition to having "ease" of access under the hood.....

73.... Do you plan on just mounting it so it just "tilts" or tilts and "lifts-off"?????

Mine did NOT come with the mounting hardware so I'll be anxious to see how it mounts. As i have mentioned here before.... I called "US BODYWORKS" about buying the mounting kit and they would NOT offer me any "part-service" or replacement parts.... nice products BUT NO post-sale "customer service".

Still going to get a platform scale and weigh mine when I can....
