Yes, I have a cage and I will have door bars.
So I looked and looked, but can't find a write up on how to remove the factory crash bars on late doors? I have 1/2 of it out, but the door latch side is a puzzlement. So far I've cut them in half and was able to cut out the front hinge side. Can someone help? |

Here is the latest on the door lightening.
I did as suggested and just cut it as close to the edge as possible with a 3” cutter. I kept chipping away until I could get no more. My total door bar/beam weight removed was about 13-14#. As is with a door latch, no windows 21# Add-in the glass windows guides and door latch 35# All items removed beams, window mechanism, sheet metal 20# Seems consistent since I started with 55# for the full 1975 door. |
