new aluminum door panels

[jeepman1998]

made up some new aluminum .049 thick door panels. I gutted the doors and made these up. I shimmed out the factory handle so I could use it. and I ordered flush mount switches for power windows. What do you guys think?

How much do they weigh in comparison to the factory panels?

They weigh about 3 lbs. But when I removed crash bars, excess metal, drilled holes, and speakers. It was amazing the factory door panel is really heavy. Plus when you install aftermarket seats and a cage, It gives alot more room for driver.

Installing my cage now so i will post some pics maybe over weekend of whole inside car. I am fabricating everything I can for the car. Thinking of fuel cell install also, but not sure yet.

Looks nice, but I'd hate not having an arm rest....unless it's a track only car.
