Personally I would prefer to get my doors unassembled. (Skin & frame) This would make it much easier to get a proper fit.

Don't forget that the Pantera is a hand-built car. Doors are no
exception to the rule that every part was hand-fit to the car. Most
likely, the mold made from any particular door, will still need
massaging to the actual car it will be mounted on. Just be aware of
that.
The carbon fiber hoods sold by some Pantera vendors are close, but will
need to be hand-fit. They typically let you know that ahead of time.

mind there are a few factors working against you here. First, our doors
do not have any side impact protection. Therefore, they are not
suitable for street use without a roll cage. Second, we would need
parts in pristine condition to make molds from. They would not be
returned to you once the molds have been made. We own the molds, and we
keep the parts we make the molds from so we can back check the molds if
there is ever a question of the mold warping or twisting. Third, to do
any parts, we would require a deposit equivalent to the full purchase
price of five parts, in advance, before any work is begun.
The good news, is that we do not require any charge for the creation of
the molds when five parts are purchased in advance. The lead time is
3-4 months for a set of doors and 2-3 months for a deck lid or hood.

I wonder if POCA members want to form a list then they should contact
this fellow. My doors are full of rust and would need new door skins
welded on.
