Fiberglass superbird noses

[Hemi Runner]

Has anyone ever weighed any of the fiberglass superbird noses on the market?? My Gean Gregory steel nose is 37#.... if I could find a fiberglass one that was around 20# that'd be better....

My Fiberglass (Dayclona) Superbird nose weighs in at approx 40 lbs based on shipping weights when I ship, my fiberglass nose cones are the thickest/heaviest on the market,...My Daytona cone weighs in at approx 35 lbs


A customers Janak supplied Daytona cone weighed in at 27 lbs....the lightest cones that I've seen are the Showcars.com cones, very flimsy, feather weigth, only a 2 mat lay up, never weighed one though, would never use one either,....if your in the market for a lightweight cone, I can make to order, Daytona or Superbird, fiberglass or carbon fiber

I have a lightweight fiberglass nose that DONC made for me. The headlamp openings are closed off. It's very light. We cut it to ship it from Canada and it would need to be glassed back together. Upside is it's cheap to ship by FedEx or UPS this way.
I think I have some lightweight fender scoops and a few other bird parts that I would sell cheap if anyone's interested in a package deal. I need to clean my shop out.

Is it realy the best place to save a few pound on the nose cone?? could mount it more like dane ,daytona guy, is doing on his blue daytona thread ,and save # 's on the mounts .then shave some #s on other parts of the car.
    are you doing a race car or land speed car were afew# is that big of deal?

p.s.    hotrod i sent you a pm ,bout nose.thanks

Yes, the nose is the place to save weight as it needs to be removable (quickly and easily) to get to the turbos, intercooler and engine. With a drag car, the nose is THE place to save weight.

    drag car with turbos sounds awesum. have any pics of car so far,in the project?would be great to see how its coming.
