Freebeard,
Attached are some example drawings of what I am considering. Step one would be to cut each side off (quarter panel, window, and structure) and remove it intact. Step two would be to cut a triangle out of the roof and floor metal and support channels. Step three would be to reweld the intact side at that angle, smooth the few inches around the transition, and build/modify a new door. The roofline would not drop in this suggestion. The future plan would be to add a kamm shell to the door or separate hinge to taper both the roof and sides.
I am weighing the downside of the fixed angle not curving given the tradeoff for not having to replace the window and window framing. The smoothing would be in the inches between the middle row door and the window starting.
---Edit: Added picture of future Kamm type shell
