Lexan windows

I need to drop some weight for an upcoming class I am going to run. Anybody have any suggestions to a good lexan glass replacement kit for the sn95 mustang?

or buy a sheet and make your own.

honestly the glass in a fox is thin andyway, I dont think you'll drop enough to make the swap worth it. Now safety wise lexan is worth it imo.

I need to drop 150+. But I still have ungutted power window doors and factory glass. Surely I can get enough there???

Front and rear gotta be worth a bit wouldnt you think

Not a fox. '97. Fairly long front and rear. Dont expect much out of the door windows and the quarters. Gotta find the reduction somewhere.

Lexan the widows and gut the doors and door panels...Don't know about you but most of us could shed 20 - 30 lbs  of Fluffy Butt.

Yeah, need to drop bout 20 myself LOL

There you go! Now you only have to get rid of 130 !

Its easier to remove/replace parts than it is to give up the soup beans  

Understood....I know the dang doors on the Torino are real heavy. They gettin gutted this winter.

the glass in these old turds is thick and heavy..... much like the strings SRV used and tuned as such....


these fox cars glass just aint got the same tone........

 

I went that route w/Maverick.never again. Doors.fenders,all windows,only lost #100. Not worth it imo.

^^^^ and thats on an older car.

every little bit helps and in the event of a crash Id rather not have to deal with the glass going everywhere.

lexan makes it a pita to winch the car in and not be able to steer it as i go.....

Maybe you're right. The extra weight may come in handy in the spring when the side drafts at the local track are  30-50 mph.

Ok, then where can I rob the weight quickly??? Lexan and door gutting was the first thing that popped in my head...

Hood and deck lid? Wiper motors? Seats and carpet? Window regulators?

If it was me, I'd gut the doors regardless...but then, I'll do almost anything to shed weight in a racecar. I saw your car, Shannon, but I didn't notice if the bumpers were gutted.

Lexan windows, gut the doors completely and put either a carpet or aluminum panel back on, glass deck lid

Your there on your goal weight reduction. No problem.

If it has factory carpet and insulation in it that is about a 12-14lb loss even adding back a speaker type carpet. Gut the dash to the limit

Look for stuff here and there that can go

crash bar in the door is heavier than the glass by far

the crash bars in the doors add up or they did on my ranger

Crash bars x3!
