Duster race weights?

There is going to be a lot of fiberglass and lexan in your future. I would also look at lightening the front K member a bit and aluminum heads. That is where the biggest part of weight savings are going to come from. I (on a car I used to have) cut out all the excess metal below the 1/4 window and rear seat v bracing. A fuel cell will help some. get rid of factory wiring and put in what is needed as far as a switch panel set up. The one I did the factory harness compared to a Painless 50005 I lost 10 lbs from getting rid of all the junk. Every little bit you can trim will make a difference. Going to a tube chassis set up will be the best way to get the weight down. But I don't know what your budget is or how soon you want to get it done.

I don't have a lot budget wise, however I do have a bit of time. I have a '66 barracuda that I cut the entire floor out of and gutted the doors/etc. I do have a duster and demon as well. The '66 is a money pit so I wanted to see if I could get a duster within the same weight as with less hassle or expense. I still have to figure out a less costly way to four link it if I stay that route. I planned on plexi windows for sure. Stock '64/66 rear glass is 60 pounds.

I don't think I would cut the floor out of the demon because it has almost no rust in it.
