64-66 Hood weight
Anyone weighed a 64-66 hood? Any idea what they weigh(besides lots)? Thinking of a new design of front hinges and need the weight. Thanks.

Re: 64-66 Hood weight
I stood on a scale once with the hood in my hands and I seemed to have been 80 lbs heavier.
Not the most accurate way to do it.

Re: 64-66 Hood weight
Good info for when I take mine off by myself again. Only problem with mine is that it has been sprayed underneath with bedliner. Heavier, but more solid and quieter
