I thought that when you posted drawings, but didn't comment because I thought it would be stating the obvious. :lol
I just assumed the door was going to be oversized and on the outside of the pod in real life.

You could ditch the whole door lifting idea and have it slide toward the front.
I think it would look cool. It would be easier to do and require no clearance.

Did you pull the ac unit from that Honda? looks like it's gonna be hot in there.

Maybe a piece of lumber (1x4, 2x4, etc.) screwed to the door to act as a straight edge guide for your router?
Drill start and stop holes for the router bit.
Chain drill several small holes and use a chisel to carefully break through the last little bit.
