The fiberglass doors are from VFN and weigh 12 lbs each. I had them on the car and operable years back but took them off when I joined the PT site.(I didn't want anyone claiming unfair)Since there are other cars running them now I decided to throw them back on. The fit is factory perfect. I trimmed the lexan glass mount off the top, made some backing plates from 1/4" aluminum plate and tapped the plates for the oem hinge bolts, and there is a flange up front that slides just behind the front fender if you were to use fiberglass fenders that needs to be trimed off. You also need to cut in your latch.
I haven't weighed my steel oem doors with glass yet but I'd guess they are around 65-75 lbs each?
Once the doors are installed I should weigh in at the low 2800 lb range.

That is the blade set up I'm talking about! I thought it was pretty cool. The driver basically had two "shifter looking" nobs with a detent for the different position for each side of the bar.

Wish were on the same side of the Country so we could run against each other!

Funny, I was thinking the same thing. When I hit the lotto I'll ship my car over and we'll hit a few tracks on my dime.

I'm going to the DSE Summer Slam, maybe I'll get lucky and they'll feel sorry for the little guy and ship my car over to your side on thier dime for OUSCC! I'm certainaly gonna try my best with driving, and a lot of not so subtle hints that they should Pick ME!

Oh yeah.......the OUSCC. Isn't that the race event after SEMA at Pahrump where they race "street" cars that have roll cages, fuel cells, and cup holders?

Woops, there I go again

Anyhow....Good luck out there. Hope you do well and get chosen.

I bet you the car that won last year drives more comfortably down the road than my daily driver.

When's your car getting a cup holder? You should probably add two so no one gives you a hard time about the doors.

You guys are out of my league. Cup holders would put me over budget
