custom made door panels

My org door panels are shot,and dont want to spend lots of dollars for new ones.So I was thinking last night wile drinking Mikes hard lemonaide why knot make my own ,the boards are still very good.Thought is buy some marine vinyl, 1/2 foam glue it to the vinyl than come up with a stright stich design.I would have to take it to someone to do the stitching than install it to the old boards.What do you all think,has anyone here done this.I am not into a perfect factory looking car if you know what i mean Vern.Thanks sober now so I am still on to this idea.Cheerssssssssssssss
