Truthfully, it ought to still be close to stock weight. I haven't touched it much yet. However, I'm going to roughly say that there's 500lbs to be lost. If there isn't, its time for a new chassis.

Don't feel lazy on my account... Look what it took just to pull this thing out of the barn, my friend... Besides, I find that the best way to not feel lazy when someone is doing alot of work is to compare it to things you can/should be doing. Then, GO DO THEM! HA HA...
