If that's you're first attempt you are ahead of the curve. I'm building a strictly race truck and a lot of the factory structure will be gone. I'm looking for parts that do not need additional work to strengthen them up. Like I said some stuff is super chinsy
Mike Carlman has their doors.
Off the shelf they didn't fit and had to be modified per Mike's specs. After a couple of tries they got what he needed.
But it will be like that for just about any FG body parts used for racing. They are made for tube chassis cars/trucks, not our stock framed vehicles.
They are light... about 8 lbs. with plexiglas window, hinges, door opening hardware, and strap.

So it's more pro stock type parts.
So it's more pro stock type parts. That's what I mean all race glass parts need to be "fit" some more then others
Yeah pretty much. All their stuff is lightweight.
Usually mounted with D-zus fasteners to the chassis.
The doors aren't too bad to do on a stock bodied truck. Just need to fab some hinges, and a little work with the door opener hardware.
Other parts like fenders, panels, hoods, etc. require some mounting points for the fastneers welded to the frame.

Yep, I've done quite a few. I may just have parts made individually
Once it's totally parted out I will certainly do that!!

Thanks. We're you still looking for a hood?
It'll be a stock pin on hood from http://www.glasstek.com/

Us body source has ones they claim are bolt on. I've used their race parts before and they were decent
Didn't see the bed sides sitting higher must be getting old and blind..LOL
