Any help out there??

Little too steep for a race car. I have to figure on replacing these at least once a year.

screw the doors then. bolt a sheet of .060 aluminum onto the edge of the roll bar

Yeah, sheet metal would probably be an easy solution if you're expecting that much damage. Any good fabricator can make an FC style door pretty easily.

Found them at Japco for $125 each. They also sell hoods and fenders.

Most likely low quality but who cares for a racing application. It is more important to have light weight.

hehe....too steep for a race car? I wasn't aware that this term existed I thought the term was too steep for a STREET car....I should forward this to ferrari and tell them that their 2 million dollar F1 cars are too expensive

edit: keep in mind this old addage I share with my drag racing buddies " if you want to get into racing take a $100 bill and flush it down the toilet...if that doesn't bother you than go racing"

Just out of curiousity, why not just use the skin off a factory FC door? With the metal thickness, you can't be saving much weight with glass doors. Just the ease of fabrication?

I have the door just about down to the skin now but it still has the hinges and upper glass surround. They still weigh in excess of 20 lbs. Lightweight F/G doors will be in the 4 lb area. I looked at getting rid of the upper portion but the car gets real ugly when you do that not to mention the aero gets worse.
