I'm using the 2 piece intake , I'm gonna be using a Mopar intake .. It took some work to make it fit but it's worth the effort . I grudge race the car so a sheetmetal intake is not a good idea ..lol

Sup guys ,
Any idea what a factory door on a 86 weighs ? they gotta be close to a 100lbs with the facory window and all ... Thinking about going to a light weight set . Can anything be done to take weight of factory doors ? already took out the crash beams but that was only 10 lbs from what i can remember .
Any one ever see a light weight door for are cars ?
Thanks
