So i've been doing a good deal of thought
doors weight TOO MUCH hence i've thought about making my doors fiberglass and maybe having them C/F wrapped for good looks the shell of the should be easy for me to make since its make a mold of the door then create 5 layers inside that... the rest i'm a lil worried about is the strength issues and such? any opinions |

Internal bracing should provide more than enough strength and safety to the doors. Hell, you could probable make them even stronger than the stock ones. Sure the fiberglass would be destroyed, but if you put some steel supports and maybe some foam in there, it would probably turn out great.
