This is not what I would consider a beginner mod.
First of all, you need some way to open the doors - so you'll have to find a solution for that. Many states will not allow you to license a car for use on public roads without a door handle - check the regulations in your area.
Most of the bits you want to shave are done by removing the part, cutting steel to the shape of the hole, welding the steel in, and grinding down the welds until it's smooth.
Some of them are more complex than that - the marker lights are in the body molding, and you can't buy molding without the holes, so you'll need to either completely eliminate all the molding (LOTS of welding) or rebuild some moldings - also a fairly large undertaking.
Visit a bodyshop and ask them for a quote - and get it broken down into materials and labor. The REALLY BIG number on there for labor is there for a reason.

I want to make my gas door disappear when I put my fuel cell in... I think that would trip people out... "Where's the gas door?" Oh man, its on the passenger side... "No it isnt!" Holy shit! Someone stole it?
