    Lightening the Posterior

    As a SWB, my '67 has its fair share of oversteer, which I love. But you can have too much of a good thing. I'm in the process of installing a nudge bar on the back because I really like the way the factory ones look. But it does add some more weight hanging out there in the back and I'm thinking of ways to neutralize it.

    My car had a Lexan rear window installed when I first got it and I have replaced it with the original glass one that the PO had preserved. How much weight savings is there with a Lexan rear window vs. the glass one? Is it worth it for a 7/10 driver like me? Are they available (I sold mine)?

    Cheers,
    JohnA
