Yeah, if you want exact replacement that would be the best choice, it's
smooth on one side, rough on the other.

In my Classic, I used "masonite" or whatever it's really called, from a
lumber yard. The stuff that pegboard is made from.  I used the thinner
stuff. But I was fabricating all door panels from scratch, since I require
that all my cars had a previous owner that left the windows open rain and
shine (must be my rule, since they all did).

The American I used .040" aluminum. I'm real happy with it, I can't believe
it's not used more often. I was going for a 60's aerospace look and aluminum
and glass is all about that!

The Hornet, I had a local upholstery shop do the work, they used very thin
plywood. I was initially skeptical, but it's been just fine 4 years later.
