That's pretty cool. My dad used to have a fiberglass front end, hood, and doors on his '72 Mustang. I picked up the doors one time and was amazed how light they were (hollow, lol).

Notice how crappy the body fitment is! I wouldn't do that if I was trying to set a national E.T. record I have to much respect for my mustang.

well the front end is extended 7" But I would be interested in the doors, thats a weight savings of 150-200lbs. possibly the dash too. I havent seen anyone else offer fiberglass doors for the sn95 mustangs. I am planning on building a road race/street car, will take me years. But thought I would pass on the information.

For your best interest, just remove the window tracts etc (50+ per door) unless you go to nascar styled roll cage because the impact beams in the stock door will save your life in the street half of the car incase of an accident...im in the same boat as you...if your looking for doors etc though here you go:

https://www.skinnykidracecars.com/Me...e=WINDBODY1-02 (check out the carbon dashes and complete cobra front bumper[8D] pretty cool)
http://www.racecraft.com/ (dashes, carbon quarter panels, misc pieces)
http://www.hairyglass.com/ (more parts like your looking for)
Theres one more and they make whole bodys...its pretty cool ill have to find it
