Custom Door Panels??

[muddpile]

I was just wondering if anyone here has ever considered buying/building custom door panels for their 67-72? At the moment I have the stock plastic 72 door panels, but the style is pretty dated and I always bash my knuckles on them when trying to roll the window down.

I was thinking of buying the Roddoors dano door panels, but then I thought that I could likely build my own custom ones for much cheaper and have something truely unique. Has anyone ever tried this, and if so, what material did you use for the base of the panel and how thick was it. I've seen everything from wood to cardboard used, so I suppose almost anything would work. Also, how would a guy go about attaching it to the door? Epoxy the clips to the back of the new panel? I have my design all planned out with Orange tweed and white vinyl, but I still need to bring it into reality.
