I'll reply here instead of here, because Frank's cat always makes me smile.

I've entertained the same thought about my Clark Cortez motor home. It weighs 9000lb. If I replace the steel body with wood/bamboo and a lightweight interior maybe I could get it to 6000lb.

For your purposes, though; maybe a 'Class-C' approach–where you retain the original cowl dash and windshield and replace everything from the door hinges back?

I did this for another thread you can find here:


I'm hampered by my facilities; all my tools are jammed into a little shed. How are you fixed for shop space?
