As far as the fibre-glass doors. yeah, they're heavy, but you may want to check the laws in your area regarding this conversion. in most places they are illegal for street use, but what they don't know won't hurt ya...I guess.

What year/model car are you driving and what engine are you going with?
This will make a bit of difference in your choices. Let me know.

I'm going to be using a 6 speed g-50, 550 hp ecotec sr20det or rb20det (I'm commited to the 500 hp mark [on pump gas! {not a word Jason }]), full 14 point cage front bumper to motor mounts, 6 piston 14'' brakes front and rear, 993 multi-link rear suspension assembly, wishbone front, lexan, carbon sparco pro 2000 seats, sparco "D" steering wheel, prototype data logger/gps track info/gps lateral g-force in-dash e.m.s. (neighbor worked for nasa, builds engine diagnostic computers for jets and private planes and went to sema and now has a contract with a big BMW tuner[he won't tell me who yet] and wants to put them on cars, I'll keep you guys updated)... = Not so standard 74' Type 1.

I want to utilize fiberglass doors with roll up style lexan windows and use door rubber for insulation. Stock look and function but weigh close to nothing.

I will have "X" door bars on each side so the doors won't be much of a safety factor. As well as the front end braced, and i wouldn't be able to fit 255/35/18's or 315/30/18's in the trunk of my bug if i tried.

Thanks
