you haven't lived until you've moved one of those doors... that said, I'd bet these doors weigh 100 lbs each.... whoever got it in their head that fiberglass is lighter then steel really does need their head examined.... and these doors are power doorsOriginally posted by silver_bullet View Post76 Chevrolet Laguna 2 door.... or a 69 Grand Prix....long, heavy SOBsDoing it all wrong since 1966Comment

Fiberglass is lighter than steel by volume... but, to make fiberglass work in a production vehicle, it can’t be race weight...ie single layer... that’s why it was so hard for the engineers to take all the weight off of the C4 vette...800 plus pounds IIRC...Patrick & Tammy

yep..... also this is the biggest issue I've seen with people building with aluminum - they build race weight and it vibrates like jello on a train.Originally posted by silver_bullet View Postsilver_bullet likes this.Doing it all wrong since 1966Comment

Street signs work good. Hard to form tho... Working in a scrap yard has perks. Big ones are thicker.Comment

I got everything but the glass (reuse yours) and the actual winder crank handle
