I don't mean to sound negative, but if your going to replace just the skins of doors, fenders, quarter panels and hood I think it will save nothing in the end and even be heavier .

My experience with working with fiberglass is if you want it looking good it needs many layers and filler and this adds weight. Also the skins/panels of body are not heavy by themselves . If you plain to make a full frame of glass/plastic like a Vette is thats another story but would be hard for avg person to reproduce that kind of effect IMO .
