Default How much does the tube from a moly 25.2 weigh?

Just tubing alone from front to rear full rolling CM tube chassis without shocks/rear/brakes/floor/etc just the the metal from the frame/bars. No firewall or floor with body off.

Something like this:

For an F body?

I don't know that you can get an exact answer to this. Every chassis builder does things different and one may have a few more bars than the other.

Your best bet might be to find a blueprint for a 25:2 for an F body, add up how many feet of tubing is used and then find out how much chrome moly weighs per foot.

If I was going to guess, I would say 300-350 lbs.

CM material alone on a 25.2 (not front and back halfed like that pic above) is around a 130 pounds according to Wolfe's kit they sell if that helps ya..I have a custom 25.2 but no idea what it weigh's..
