There's about an extra 80-90# of "dead-weight" in the drivers seat of my Duster since I booted my son out of the driving duties.
Now that was funny

what type of sedan. A-body, B-body.
Cutting disc are moderate priced, but the Dremel cutting wheels that get into the tight spots really cost a penny.
There's a good amount of weight in that wind vent window and the tracks. after that, sedan doors are pretty light. In thumpers case, he has no luxury of such doors but can do other things, lots of things. My friends A-body Duster is a low 2940 lbs with limited tricks from my bible.

It is a 64 dart,last time it ran,was 2540 with 200 lb driver,360 iron head 904 ,83/4. No roll bar only frame connectors. since then i have taken another 140 off but now needs a roll bar, but should still be under 2500 with no fiberglass.

Was waiting for a customer and decided to remove my pass side door panel and take a look and although I gutted it years ago I still got about 8 lbs. more out of the door and a piece of tin inside the door sill.........lots left.

This door has 1/8 lexan and rolls up using the stock mechanism,its a sedan with the wind wing removed, works pretty well ,No money ,a few cutting disks and a few bandaids and a lot of time to waste.
Mines got the vents but they're Lexan. Strap moves the windows. Door handle bracket is 1/2"x.060" aluminum with a piece of 3/8" fuel line tubing welded to the handle mechanism to stiffen it up. Doug

Thumper if you do end up using lexan make sure you spend a few extra bucks and go with mr5000 (Margar) As it holds up a lot better then the cheaper grades. Do not use plexiglass as it cracks and yellows. Ask me how I know.http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/lexan_windows_install/ http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/lexan_windows_install/
