Ok, that makes sense. Maybe the ERA site is quoting the Jag suspension in their 2600 lbs instead of their modified subframe.

I don't think I can recall an exact piece-by-piece weight comparison of a Kirkham versus another manufacturer.

Thanks for the rundown.
Looks like the ERA body is about 350 total, but I can't find much on the Kirkham one. By comparison,
CF is about 50 lbs.
Edit: looks like the
Kirkham one is about 50 as well. Now I'm wondering if ERA's 350 is an apples-to-apples comparison or if it includes any frame pieces. Their site says "The average weight of a fiberglass replica body with interior panels can exceed 600 lbs." (ERA's is about 350 lbs)."

Sure. If you post a new thread when another one with the same topic exists, some people come out and say "Thread already exists
here, search." I figure it's better to thread bump than to start a new one, because this way the information is all contained in the same place. Is it etiquette here to start new or bump?
