Default Weight of hood?

Obviously I'm referring to an original one. I just spent several hours masking off everything around the hood so that I could repaint the top. I vaguely recall a figure of 185 pounds.

I'm pretty much a one-man-band (and not remotely super strong), but it crossed my mind there is plenty of help only a short drive away and for a reasonable fee.

Obviously I'm talking about removing the hood and placing it on saw-horses.

I do this all the time by myself when removing/replacing hoods on the vintage Alfa's I restore. But they're well within my meager muscle tolerance.
