I am wanting make my doors lighter but still be good for the street. Is there anything that I can realy do to make this happen? The doors feel like they are 50 pounds each and i would like to drop several pounds from them.
Oh yeah the car is a 73 |

Drop Paul (URY914) a line, he made me some really nice glass door skins... Im going to do a "how to" write up when the weather here turns chilly
Carbon fiber is exotic, light, strong and has a great bling factor.. Yet its a bit more expensive than glass but isnt that much lighter than glass... and when its painted who knows? have your dash and door panels made of carbon... have the fenders, hoods, doors made of glass... I dont believe at our level of the sport the benefit of carbon is worth the extra cost carbon warrants... BTW I got all carbon parts for my 911 before I had this epiphany |
