Trying to drop more weight on car.

Ok so my car is fully striped but the dash front door panels and one racing seat.

I want to swap out the front for a tube chaise. My question is do they make one that's a direct bolt up with out alot of modification and welding?

No it's going to have to be custom built there is a tubular k-member but if I remember it's like 3k. If you're drag or race the car all the time and have the money I would consider carbon fiber doors and hood swap out to lexan Windows they make a tubular front and rear brace they are extremely price as well. Needless to say if you want to lose weight on these things after the simple removing of stuff it will get pricey, it's just how much you want to spend.

Hood has already been swapped. What kind of weight savings we talking about on the doors? I looked into that before but read alot of bad reviews about fitment and finish.

Straightline had a custom front subframe.

Seibon makes lightweight doors. I've seen them in person.
