Yep, out of the doors there is only a thin shell of FG left...plus the door panels...just a fraction of the stock weight.
Here you can see it...

I'll be doing a set of doors like that also
Why didn't you cut more of the front section?

Well, there is nothing left apart the outer FG shell and just a bit of inside steel to attache the inner door cover, can't be any emptier then this...maybe in the pic it's not very noticeable...
You'll save about 20lbs per door if you have power windows...
