There would be no cutting on the front fenders...however, you would have to install the latch bolt up front so it could be secured. The rear area where the door normally latches however is a different story... to make the swing of the doors work, you end up tucking the door inside this area which means you then have to reinforce it to hold the weight of the door... I've pondered it some myself.. here are the pics of the LT1 Vert that already has them done.

^ I saw that skirt part of the second video from top gear, but they never showed the door go down. Imagine your door motor breaking. Maybe I am too used to driving Fbodies with failing widow motors, but that would suck.
To the OP your solution is human weight reduction and a door swingout. Spend less money, be healthier, and happier all in solving your problem.
