Got any ideas on how your gonna mount the sides? I’m about to start on mine. I can’t decide which way I want to go with it.

I am just going to mount them with some small 3/4" tubing and mount plates. I am going to run a gutted tailgate and bed cover also, in an attempt to keep these no prep guys from complaining. It will be a big deal if I roll up with a bunch of tube everywhere, even though it will still weigh twice as much as some of those cars.
I have been trying to research carbon fiber plate for the dash, bed cover, and door panels. Jegs has 2x4' sheets of composite carbon fiber for $109 a sheet. I dont know how it would compare to just thin aluminum as far as weight goes. I did weigh the bed sides, 30.2lbs each. I believe the fiberglass sides are 14lbs each, so not a huge weight savings there and I can keep my factory tail lights, along with the fact they are "steel quarters" which is a big deal at some races.
