    P-Body Doors...ways to lighten?

    I believe manual crank P-body doors are heavier than my Daytona doors that has power windows. I also skinned the interior door panels and hate the way the interior side metal flexes so much! I wish there was a way to lighten them and remove all that crap. Are there places that sell window pull straps?

    Having carried both around I'm pretty syure the Daytona doors are heavier, but I've never put them on a scale. I have loose doors and a scale so maybe I shoud do that.

    I doubt they are heavier, but there is probably little difference between manual and power windows on a P-body since they both use the same giant crank arm.

    There's no way that a shadow door is heavier than a daytona. It's way most if not all daytona's have sagging door hinges, shadow's not so much.
    As for ways to lighten, no too much thats street legal
