I cut my doors so as to just remove the window frame from the top of the wing window, around to the lock plunger spot. I cut and shaped what was left, and applied the paint. They came out really sweet and the window has plenty of internal support when it's up. It doesn't rattle a bit. I then used a dab of black silicone caulk to fill the weatherstripping bulb where I cut it, to give it a more finished look.
I can get you pics if you need,but it'll be a few days.
