So if i swapped all the glass on my wagon for fiberglass replacements, save for the windshield, how much weight would i drop? I plan on making them fully operational too. I know that i will be leaving weight on the table but no biggie, i'd rather keep the sleeper look and them having the ability to roll down is a big plus int he right direction.

The reason i ask is because the car will be a dedicated drag car and is currently missing windows. The stock glass seems kinda pricey when compared to lexan sheeting that i can cut myself.

well if some know's please tell us. See this how my wagon is set up. Except my window's are not functional. But I have a question for ya. If this is going to be a Drag only car.......what does it matter if they are functional

If you get the good Lexan race glass it's going to be more than stock glass. If you get the cheap stuff you can buy at a plastics shop or whatever, it's going to scratch easy, especially if you try to use it functionally like real glass. SpeedGlass and other good quality stuff has a special hard coating on it to prevent scratches and abrasion.

I was looking at the Harwood set with Margard and they flat sheets they make to cut the back side and tailgate glass from.

As for the first question, i guess i am just a lil obsessed with making it "look" stock. It will be registered so i can drive it to the track(s) as well. In all honesty the only windows that will see use will be the front doors. I don't see the any others ones being used too often.

Well the only window on mine that is functional is the rear. And only so I can put fuel in to the fuel tank. My tank is mounted over the rear axle and to access the trap door you half to go through the back window.

I can tell you this. The old saying "100lbs = 1 tenth", is BS.
I personally lost 70 lbs this past year, I thought I would a least pick up around 5 hun. ........ZERO, NO FASTER. So keep the glass, looks better, unless there is a ton of weight to be saved.

BS??? Care to wager on that one? I think there's a lot of people who will have a different view. We added 50# and could see a difference.

BS may not be the right response, I am just telling you my senario.
I didnt gain ****!

If you didn't see any difference, then something else has changed which could be a whole laundry list of things, but I can guarantee you with no uncertainty that weight changes do make an affect. Could be all the way from weather, tires, track, on and on.
