Whole thing is less than 2240lbs anyway, so you'll be easily OK. The pan isn't lightweight either, and the engine, trans, wheels must be all of 350 lbs I'd think. Then you've got the doors and glass off too. Some stuff on my site (URL below), but not as much as in my head - not to mention Jim Adney, Russ Wolfe, Bob and everyone. Dave.
