 I don't see much of a point for all this- what is the goal? Just shaving off a few pounds for a road car seems like an expensive exersize that provides little return for your efforts. Your money might be better spent on a good quality paint job and upholstery. In the weight game, it's not just total weight but where that weight is distributed. A 50 pound bag of sand in the trunk of a stock Jensen Healey totally transforms the handling.

This reminds me of Clubber Bruce Blank, who had a custom carbon fiber drive shaft made for his JH. He freely admited it provided no real value, it just sounded cool and he worked for a place that was able to take on this project for a minmal cost. He said it would normally run $600 to get one made.
