Default RE: Top-Flite Cessna 182 Skylane

I have started my own thread on my cessna 182 build. " http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_11331976/tm.htm " . I just love all the detail that some guys put into there Cessna's.
For- SDCrashmaster
I saw your 182 it looks great with the opening doors and all the detail. I just want to ask if it would be possible to modify a TopFlite 182 that is at 80%-85% complete to add opening doors? The thing is, there is a main spar on the sideof the fusalage in the middle that isrunning through where the doors will be.
Did you build it different than the plans and instruction say to accomidate the doors?
How will cutting this spar affect the strength of the model?
Do I need to re-inforce the door frame at the top and bottom with something if I cut it out?
How can It be done?
Any addviseon this issue is welcome...

Thank you
