Getting spider lighter

["Thomas Moll" <moltek@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

First of all i want to thank everybody that offered their doors to me. I 
got a couple of really nice doors of a -71 Spider at a very reasonable 
price from Heinz Mihm in Wisconsin who i know has more -71 spider parts 
if anyone is looking. 
Also a big thanks to all good ideas on where to find fiberglass hood and 
trunk lid. After someone pointed it out to me, the answer was right in 
front of my nose. Alfa Ricambi lists both parts - unfortunately they are 
priced out of my league.

Now, several people i've talked to suggests that it actually is quite 
easy to make fiberglass panels. So does anyone have any experience in 
doing this and/or words of wisdom, encouragement or discouragement and 
preferably some good advise on how to make fiberglass lids for my -74 
Spider?
Does anyone have an accurate weight on a stock -74 Spider? Or know what 
the lowest weight of any 115 racing spider is?

- -74 Spider, getting lighter by the day
- -67 Super, stock but for 1750 engine

Ps The -71 doors are six ponds lighter than stock -74 doors (20 vs 26 
empty)
