I have heard of some people on here cutting out the crash beams for weight reduction. What is the best way to cut those out without tearing up the outer door skins in the process? Any other things I can remove that hasn't been mentioned before?

If you haven't already done suspension work, i would suggest tubular A-arms and K-member, with some coil overs. Along with a fiberglass hatch with a lexan window.
