side impact beams

I have searched this forum and have not found anyone who has posted "how to remove the side impact beams". Does anyone have instructions on how to do this without messing up the outer doors appearance?

I have a drag car (10 pt cage) and I'm looking to shed more weight. I have already taken off everythnig that is on all of the lists. Car currently weighs 2810lbs. without driver.

Thanks sawbones. It'll probably be a couple of weeks before I do this. I'll try and let you know how it goes.

Here are instructions I received at crt-performance.

I've found that a Dremel tool with the fiberglass reinforced cutoff wheels works bests. The Dremel is easier to manuever in the confines of the door. Roll the window up and tape it in place so that the window regulator mechanism can be removed. Then cut the brace as close to both ends as possible. Be careful when you're close to through because the door skin is might thin and its possible to cut right through it very easily. Once the brace is free, it can be manuevered through one of the openings with some work. I've found it easier to remove one small section near the door handle on the inside skin and bring the brace out there though.
