Not very scientific but here it is:

Me-                             166 lbs
Me and the trunk lid-     180 lbs
Me and the hood-         190 lbs

There are no hinges, no paint and no filler on the hood, the trunk, or me.
You can do the math. This could be the only good thing about having the
roadster in pieces, it's easy to weigh.
