stankoprowski -- If you go here and load a shopping cart you might get a shipping weight. I avoid shopping carts.

The total weight wil vary due to choices of: link-pin vs ball-joint, steering dampner or no, steering gearbox or no (it mounts to the beam), stock width vs narrowed vs widened and gusseted for offroad. I 'estimate' the figure could vary over ±50lb.

Cars have parts, Thee Template doesn't.

I like the Corvette frame. The Edison2 VLC uses a combination of cast and stamped aluminum. I don't know about fiberglass but what you are asking for is available in carbon fiber:
