Interior idea...save weight but still streetable...
Ok i am going to be using the 87 as my scca racer as well as a 2-3 times a weeker to work.. Well my interior carpet isn't the best and i really don't want to replace it. I was thinking about removing all the carpet and the bins from car and then cutting the LOWER portion of the interior door pannel off leaving only the top part to rest my arm on. Then painting the floor and the bottom part of the doors black... anyone done this yet? If so have any pics....IS it a good idea or not? Thanks

Taking off just part of the door panel is going to look wierd. The metal underneath is not very attractive. Plus most of the fasteners go around the perimeter, so it may flop around a bit if you cut the bottom off.
the carpet will save you some weight, the door panel mod won't do much of anything for you.
Good luck

You could always just take some sheet metal, cut it to the size of the door panel, wrap with something (fabric/whatever) and use that...
Then you can use whatever you want and it won't look terrible...
