61 Galaxie Sedan, ideas on suicide conversion

I just bought a fun 61 Galaxie, only problem is it's a 4 door 

I'm open to any suggestions on how to make it cooler, but what I'm really curious about is if anyone has done a suicude conversion on any early 60's 4 door Fords.  If so how did it go, what did you do, etc...

Thanks
Tony L

It would be a whole lot easier if the car were a two door.  Looking at my 4-door I cant see any way to make it work where you would be able to open both the front and back door at the same time.  The other big issue would be getting it to latch in the front.  There is not a lot of surface area where you can mount a striker.  Not trying to be a naysayer but I can not see an easy way to it.  Im also not saying it cant be done.  Anything is possible but with out major reconstructive surgery I don't see it happening on a 4-door.

Lambo doors might be cool, a little last decade, but four Lambo hinged doors is something you don't see every day.
