[93ETGOCART]

ok so im wondering what is the lightest door, gutted stocks, tubing and sheet metal, fiberglass, or cf? or any other options that might be lighter. for a 1g by the way

what is your goal? lightest? simple but light? me personally, when i do mine, they are gonna be porsche style, with red pull straps. and im keeping my power windows, because i can.. but im gonna use some kind of vinyl to make it look purdy

These are the lightest you are going to find.
PART

They weigh in at only 8LB's each, without lexan of course.

im just looking for light weight and what is the lightest id actually like to have a comparison list for what each of those actually weight. 8lbs is light as hell i didnt think i could get it under ten. how much does the lexan weight?

how much does the lexan weight?

A .125" thick lexan/polycarbonate 1G door window weighs roughly 3.5 lbs. The factory glass weighs 8.5 lbs.

I honestly don't think you can remove the beam with hacking up the inner shell a little bit. Freeing the beam from it's fixture is the easy part - fishing it out from the inside of the door is the tricky part. I have to remove pretty much everything on my doors to get the job done.
