Default Fiberglass doors

I have a chance to get a pair of fiberglass doors for my 64 tempest coupe. They are coming off a coupe that raced with them many years. Will I have any problems do to the fact they are hardtop doors ?
I'm thinking not but what's your take ?
Thinking of Building a 1964/65 era match race car,so the little differance in looks has very little concern over fuction

You will drop 100#s, if your are going from stock doors with glass to fiberglass doors and lean windows.

Lol drop 100lbs off of gutted doors maybe?
I thought my gutted stock doors were light until I got my fiberglass doors!
And it's nutral weight at that ....

WD45GTO my 2 cents is taking weight off of a car is safe money well spent.
