you eliminate the plastic and the thing will probably warp and lose its shape, you want weight reduction gut the doors, those things are HEAVY

its not coming out and going back in, its the fear of it rattling and being a pain when it is back in

its not so bad actually. on the bottom and sides the metal dash frame bolts to the body of the car. the 3 on top are plastic, and its like 50/50 if its already broken, at least here where we get a lot of sun.

due to the modular construction, if you wanted to, you can take the dash out without removing the radio, gauges logicon etc etc.

or put it the other way, the outer plastic dash part, is attached to a metal frame, and THAT is bolted to the car

Well I'm not going to let that happen, the doors are already gutted!

The dash is actually pretty light...I'm hoping to use fiberglass to re-inforce it though.
