One would think. My original upholstered box is 59.5 lbs.
Not exactly svelte. Targeting 25 lb. finished.

Began building a smaller, lightweight motorbox for '81. The lower portion (Coosa 26) held to floor with thumbscrews, will be carpeted. , Upper part (composite) hinges, unupholstered.. Couple cupholders for rear passengers.
Here is lower in rough-in.
