Have lusted after carbon fiber bodywork for years. My compliments.

What is the estimated vehicle weight when it's finished?

Thanks a lot. The owner thinks the body will weigh more or less the same with the addition of chassis reinforcements, roll bars, bigger wheels, brakes etc. I am also very curious to see how it'll end up. He also said that the new supercharged engine is also lighter than the old big block it had.
