Door Panel Design and Assembly Questions

[Barrrf]

I want to make myself some sweet ass door panels - however - my skills are pretty limited.



So I was kicking around the idea of designing the door panel in 3D and having some of the features machined out of wood? This way I could get some contours on the panel without doing any glasswork on it. I would, obviously, have to figure out something for the curved steel piece on the top that holds the window fuzzy.

I was also considering using wood for the base and then using some sort fo sculpting foam for the contours I want to make? Ive been scratching my head on how those awesome guys at Fesler or RR do it - they have those swoops in the panels that go right through to the back panels. Or how they bump them out and make room for a door pocket.

Any ideas?
