Link above is for a passenger door, but this gentleman has a huge selection of parts available.
I would give him a call.

IMO: Fiberglass is not repair. It's a cover up . Cheap is right. Want quick and cheap or expensive time consuming and well done, it's a pick your pill.

The adage about going fast also applies here... you heard the saying "cheap, fast, reliable... pick 2"

Well, here it's cheap, fast, durable... pick 2.

I found out the hard way that those inner door shells from Goodmark need to be modified to fit an El Camino or Malibu door. The tag on them say specifically Regal and Cutlass. That was a couple of years ago so maybe the fit has improved.

Door for classics are getting harder to find. We've all seen and are familiar with these lower door sections being some of the biggest problem areas on G-bodies. As others have stated, time and money are the drivers. However, as hobbyists, several key points not mentioned are the sense of accomplishment, pride, and "I did it myself." Several years ago, I did exactly what Steve proposes to do for his 82 doors using pieces from other 5th Gen and simple fabrication. My response to him is "go for it" and enjoy the craft!

Yeah, the way I figure is if my boat made of fiberglass can last 15 years then the inside of a car door should last a good while.
