I won't tell you it's stupid,but I will say it will be HARD.you will need someone who is an expert at fab work.

That only looks good on low roofline, sleek looking cars. I'd think a Square is too boxy for that. Plus, it would be a nightmare to pull off. Reinforce the roof to support the weight of the door.
Fabricate latches of some sort for both front and trailing edge of doors.
Fab some type of opening and assist mechanisim, (heavy doors!).

Just a bad idea. If I were bound and determined to modify, I'd try to suicide the doors instead.

Weld the doors shut and climb in the windows. Sorry it's really late.
