I just love it...no worries re weight. It is all about correctness.
Your an inspiration Paul.

Thanks very much guys, nice to know someone is reading all this!
Yes, weight is of course a very big consideration but something that in this particular build I cannot let take precedence over what was correct in 1964 when Holman Moody built these cars.
So this car built to #201 Graham Hill/Ian Walker spec' will be a little heavier running as much interior trim as possible, as it did in the day.
But again the car on period OEM 5.5inch wide rims will surely be at a disadvantage. It will be interesting to drive as they did in the day.

Some Monte Carlo Rallye Falcons were more stripped out than others, number 49 driven by Bo Ljungfeldt had no interior trim at all and the OEM bucket seats were modified for extra side support and likely lightened.
