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 |

Here's my current solution. Early non-beam doors with my trick 'custom' (IMG:style_emoticons/default/jester.gif) $20 door panels (thin black ABS and angle-aluminum). Glass, regulators/winders and locks are gutted. You would not believe how much all that upholstery and inner-door stuff weighs!
The brushed aluminum matches the exterior and interior trim reasonably well, and the ABS door panel material is textured similarly to the stock (smooth) dash vinyl. I will be collecting various f/g and c/f parts for this car as time marches on. Since I am this far into it, I might just go ahead and build it into a 250hp narrowbody 1800lb sleeper. May god help the rear tires... Attached image(s)
