weight reduction on factory doors on a fox
Just wondering if any of you guys had done this in the past, and scaled the shit coming out. I know the newer fox's had a smaller door brace, I think the 90 and older had the bigger one?
I just did mine on a 92 with power windows and locks, I removed everything but the door panel and installed lexan. I was quite surprised using my scale witch always shows a few pounds lighter, It was 25lbs a door! Not that I needed to get rid of it, but now I can put the weight were I need it.

from the outside it sounds the same, the feel is 100% different.

What we used to do back in the early days of Pro Stock (when they actually were a lot more "Stock") was to acid dip the doors trunk and roof panels. That way they passed the magnet test but you could almost push you finger through them. I don't know anyone who has an acid tank anymore.
Look at the weights for the class, most if not all should clear them easily. The only reason I was removing weight is so I can put it were I want it, who knows it might go back to the middle of the chassis? I think I have to weigh 3,300lbs with the new promod 88
