Just curious whats it going to cost you? 

I have had a few shops look and they pretty much dont want to do them because of the odd curves and shape so the price is pretty high.

To get them off there is a long narrow molding at the bottom of the panel.  On one end is a screw, take this out.  Then with a small hammer and block of wood slide the molding either forward or rearward (I can't remember right now what way but it will move pretty easy).  Once you remove the molding you will see some screws under to remove.  Roll down the window all the way, take off the lock cap, and them push up on the panel until it comes loose and out.

What color are your panels.

I had the upper door panels re-done on a 77 Eldorado.  You can't get the puckered material, but you can get a 100% match for the lower door panel material.  i paid about $220.00, and i took the inserts out of the car.

Not too difficult to do.
