nope sorry, but I could offer an idea that I saw a cat in street source did with his chopped taco. For lack of better description, he took the hinge area of the frame and door, cut it out. then he took the latch area of the frame and door, cut that out. and swapped them!! he said that the pivot action of the stock hinges was what he wanted over the long swinging action of a suicide hinge. Do you know what you are gonna do with your rear doors because I am sure that once you suicide your front, you'll come into clearance problems. hopefully the use of the stock hinges and their mechanics would avoid that or else you'll have to suicide the rear too. Sorry couldn't offer you any sound advice. Oh yeah, if you even consider using my idea, please do something to reinforce the areas that where cut and welded (plating or roll cage) just because the engineering behind those pillars is beyond my comprehension and I always feel that if go fuckin with something some guy gets paid thousands of dollars to design so the world can use it safely, then I better make sure its done right.

weld both doors together and have them open backwards, one long huge door on both sides, just dont park near anything for that matter...

if you make a folding hinge....like a three way hinge....that would give you the clearance you needed to just open the front door suicide and keep the back closed....

mad fab i would think
