Thanks Wayne

Yes all the drilling takes time and the hinges only
Weigh about 4 lbs each. The metal on them is fairly
thick but really only shaved about a half pound plus for
each. Kinda like the look though


I am looking at taking roughly 100 lbs off the front end
when done. Then head to gutting the doors next
The door bars are suppose to weigh 50lbs each

One Pantera guy said 1000 1" sheetmetal holes is only
about 3 plus lbs. might just be the cheap Russian steel
they are made of:)

I'm taking the door bars out of my Camaro right now, I'll let you know what they weigh. I've heard more around 50 pounds for both doors combined.

Yes I would like to know
My glass and actuators are out
and it really helped. Guess I can weigh
all that now that I have a scale at the shop

Bob

Got the drivers side door bar out. 22.0 pounds on the dot on my cheap luggage scale.

Thank for info. I still have a bunch
of front end work before I get to the bars

I like the idea of using the bumper grill openings for brakes and/or engine intake while keeping the bottom feed for radiator. Closing off the core support is a good idea.

I'm surprised no one has come up with a lightweight version of the bumper brackets even if they need to sell them as "off road only". I considered making some but have already gone way too far fabricating and modifying. Should bring my project thread up to date here.

Your core support looks nice!

What motor are you running in your car??
Is there a build page.

Bumper brackets are my next thing
Fairly simple with a flat bar below and then
A couple of angles above. Using all aluminum

See you have a 400. Any specifics??? Oiling issues?

Bob

Thanks John. Definitely update your build thread. Your car is awesome!
