I'm curious to know the true weight savings per door I forget what year they started putting in the crash beams in the doors but if they were in them they were very heavy in themselves ... but I dont believe they were in there then.. I think they started in 72

1970 was the first year they had them. Maybe 45 pounds each per door.

Ordered two factory style hood scoops from VFN four weeks ago, and they told me they were 10 weeks out at that time...FYI

Ok just weighed 69 Cuda doors, completely striped door..37-38# stock just off the car complete with door panels...91-92# could be off a little but not the difference, used bathroom scales A 12 # fg door will save approx. 25# of total weight, down to 66# with the stock window

So what did your door weigh on the scale fully assembled ? I got confused with the other statement . Sorry, 92 to 93 pounds that's with a complete door and hinges, just as it came off car. Door with nothing on it, 37 pounds. Just a bathroom scale. Still 55 pounds of stuff on door

Still 55 pounds of stuff on door wow 92lb each 184 total .fiberglass replacement doors 20lb each 40 pounds total..savings 144lb.. is this correct.

That would be door, glass, quarter vent and hinges all changed or removed for lite weight stuff.

Digby's glasstech doors looked super nice in person and were crazy lite. His hinges are made out of aluminum and pop on and off easy.

No, 110 pounds of glass, hinges, handles,vent windows, window mechanisms, latch, door panels, arm rests or everything that goes on the door. But I doubt any of that can be bolted on a fiberglass door. 20 lb fiberglass door verses a 37 lb steel door, you save 17 lbs each door, maybe.
