Yeah, just strip the guts and sawzall them. I guess you will save some weight. If you are going to run 7's or 8's it might be worth every pound.

Friend of mine wanted it done. My dad went at it, and the first door the glass shattered within 3-4 seconds of touching it with a grinder. They figure out why and then did the other door with no issues. The car had been 10.64 @ 127, and with the door weight removed and some good air at Englishtown it went 10.41 @ 129... NO idea if the door weight helped, but it didn't hurt!
I've always wanted sheet metal door panels but i dunno about that...at least not for a street car obviously.
Seems like a 30-minute project that could be done with a 4" grinder and a cutoff wheel.
That's the attitude I tend to have embarking into projects and than one thing leads to another and then I realize that the stang is completely ripped apart and its been about 7 hours. But thats the "fun" of working on stangs in the first place.
Indeed. I started fiddling around with my GT the other night, just trying to find a wire to the stupid "Low Fuel" light on the center console that I could clip or something. Next thing I know, it's almost a week later and I have the whole console and half of the interior ripped out, and I'm JB Welding cracked things, sanding stuff off and primering it, and now I'm 3/4 of the way through finishing the conversion of the interior to all-black. I'm reluctant to drive it in its current state - lots of exposed sharp edges n' stuff right now. 
Sawzall might be a bit crude, I think a nibbler or cut off wheel would be a cleaner cut.
I might find a old door and try it out.
