Fiberglass doors are done, here's a pic.
John Temple and I, mostly John, have been drilling out the holes and fitting the trim to them. Here's the driver's side.

Here's some more pics.
You can see the inner side drilled out and then the raw undrilled passenger door. This weekend we'll try to get them completed. I want to get them painted and mounted as soon as possible.

looking good guys.
Mike a set going on the racer? If so, I would maybe start thinking of a to trailer the car to Atlanta Drag. With those fiberglass doors and no inner support (I guess), I don't think you would want to take a chance in a side-impact crash. But thats a great job John and Mike. Hope we can see a set at our next SCCoSE meet.

John is having them made by a friend who does that sort of thing. The empty shell weighs 17 lbs. The empty steel shell weighs about 70lbs. I am concerned about side impact and I think we'll just do the passenger side 1st. I guess I'll be putting in a roll cage this winter.

If you put fiberglass doors on a Supercoupe, is it still considered a Supercoupe?
  J/k Is there going to be a seperate top SC's list for cars with fiberglass body parts? I can hear it already.......  John's friend does some awesome work. Looks nice.

I'm not only be concerned about impacts, but also structual rigidity. I'd be willing to wager that, over time, the doors are going to crack from chassis flex. If I was going to buy glass doors, I'd use them on a non-street driven car. That's just my $.02 though. Not trying to piss in anyone's Cheerios.
