We spoke to both earlier this year as we wanted the same thing, you would think there was enough folks out there wanting to do their doors, to warrant them being produced by someone, I expect if enough folk ask for them they might tool up and make some.

I heard pretty much from the horses mouth that Schofields and Autocraft looked at going in half to make the tooling for the front panel so people did not have to use the black crappy ones. The costs were about 100k hence it did not get any further. That's a huge number of panels you need to sell to earn that back. Probably more realistic to find someone who can hand make one

It's not just the complete skins that are needed. The inner panels are limited to very bottom section or a slightly bigger section made by Klassic Fab. But this is just the very bottom of the door. The bottom of the upper section is a rotted away on mine and I can't see anyone doing a section for that. How does one repair that part short of fabricating a piece up from scratch!
