Door panel repair

[BillD]

I have been trying to locate a good original drivers door panel for a 66 Chevelle. The best I have come up with is a panel with the top 2/3's being nice with the bottom 1/3 not so nice. And another panel with the top 2/3's not so swift with the lower 1/3 being pretty good. I have attached a photo of the door panel and you can see that the top 2/3 and the bottom 1/3 are separated by a chrome strip. Has anyone tried taking one of these door panels apart? I would like to make one good one out of the two panels. The plan would be to pull the lower piece covering which is a separate and different type of material off one use that as a replacement for the other. Even better would be a recommendation of an upholstery guy that could accomplish this....I would rather pay someone with the skill to do this than risk destroying two good panels with an amateur attempt. Thanks for the help.
