Rear Suicide Doors

I had the idea recently to convert the rear doors to suicide doors but that is beyond my skill set. Anybody here into fab work that might be able to give me a ballpark on what it might cost?

Thousands ... and it is unlikely to be successful because the trailing edge of the door is not vertical so it is not possible to align the hinges vertically.

I don't think It will look like crap but opinions are opinions, doing back doors only seem like a nice touch. GL on your project, take pics plz if you do it!
