OK, I have the answer as I just did two doors.

Give me your guesses.

When I say stripped I mean no more hinges and just minimal metal around the sides.

What remains is just the steel part of the door with a small lip.

No interior bars.

Mine weigh 20lbs but have hinges & handles.
A F/G "skin" weighs 4-5 lbs.

FG is $175 for pair. http://www.rennspd.com/P_Detail.asp?PID=376&Task=STD

CF probably 10X. LOL!

OK, so CF is way expensive.

FG at 5-6#'s, including fasterers, would be about $8.40 per pound, assuming about $200 for installation.

No hole saw on the surrounding edges? The Hamilton/SMurf 914 has huge holes drilled all the way across the bottom and side edges as well.

I guess yours will weigh 10# each (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

There are no edges left now. It is basically a skin with a small lip.

Answer: The doors weigh 13lbs. Rob was closest at 14lbs.

So in my case there is always another 7lbs per door available by going to FG.

Per pound that would be $57.00. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

We ended up at 17lbs with all metal (required for vintage racing around here)

this is with inner and outer working door handles, an interior door "panel, working hinges and a working door stop

fiberglass or CF are not allowed:

finished interior (also required for vintage around here)
the strap is the interior release handle.

full working doors that open and close are a requirement and in our rule book
This is true in many vintage clubs, I know it is in CVAR and RMVR plus many others:

Depends whether its early or late model. Cars with crash bars weigh a lot more. I dont think I have seen weight for stock door with window, heavy particle board, map pocket etc. They sure felt heavy when they came off my car compared to stripped door.

Would be interesting to see, just to get an idea of what the overall weight savings are. Anyone have a complete early and late door that they can weigh?
