So here goes for GY3, Chrisnben and other early B-body guys as well as anyone with a Post sedan steel door car. Though this procedure that I performed about 20 years back may seem crude and all, it does retain the functionality of the door without compromising the window cranking up and down as well as the lock/unlock latching. After the inner door panels are installed, it all disappears and all that is left is a stock smooth looking door. The stock steel door shell without anything weighs approximately 40 Lbs as indicated in the earlier post. With this being done, I removed close to 4 Lbs. Laughing?? But wait, there is more to this.
Very nice! For some reason I have a problem cutting on mine. I'm all about little tricks and lightening components here and there but always hesitant to cut into it. Maybe it stems from seeing the cool lightweight cars cut and pruned until there's nothing left. Deflowering, so to speak.
