914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Doors - To pull the glass and cut the center out...?

Posted by: Cire Nov 3 2009, 08:31 AM

I was thinking about pulling the glass out, cutting out the center of the door and putting a thin sheet of alum over it. HOWEVER, the doors are in great shape. Cranks work, little to no rust and pretty much dent free. Anyway, I hate breaking good doors if there is a better way to get it done. = )

Cut em?

What are you trying to accomplish? If you just want Al door panels, you don't need to cut the door out for that. If this is a street car, I would keep the doors intact.

get a set of earlier doors. they won't have that heavy horizontal bracing inside the door. one would assume it's the weight issue you're tying to work on.
