You read it wrong, it was 3000# 'without' me in it. I shouldn't say it was all steel, it had an AAR glass bolt on hood but it was high quality, weighed almost as much as a steel hood.
You have a back seat, big stereo, stock front seats I think, etc etc. So you're gonna be on the heavy side, I just thought 3500# without a driver seemed like B-body territory lol.
Your car is sweet, I wouldn't gut it either, at least not til you get the go-fast bug!
