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?

Full Version: Doors - To pull the glass and cut the center out...?
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.
