How much does a
frame weigh? Well....

PM 4/29/2002

I helped fellow forum member Darcy Bast
move out of his place this weekend in another city a couple of
hours away. This was a perfect oppurtunity to stop by
Paso's to talk Vette's. We wanted to put the question
about frame weights to rest so...

We pulled a bare frame from stroage to try and get an
answer.

Here's Darcy Bast and Paso setting the frame on an official
scale.

Paso setting up the scale. What will it weigh?

Don't drop that frame Darcy!

And.....a bare 77 (It is a 77, right Paul?) frame weighs in
at 276 pounds.

With conrtol arms and crossmembers it weighed in at 371
pounds. Add a steering box and you'd get 387 pounds.
