Is there anyone who offers restoration of original interior door panels, including the heavy card material through which the attachment clips are inserted?
Are you speaking of the 1969s?

Where there is a will there is a way however typically once the backing material for the clips is broken that they are not worth fixing especially if you have to re cover the outside . I don't know of anyone who presently repairs the backing to as good as new condition.
The backing, which seems to be a derivative of Masonite, does tear out. I have had success using 2 X 2 inch squares of fiberglass matt (the woven stlyle) and glassed the clips to the back of the panel. The main issue there is you need to work one at a time, quickly as the resin dries, and, you must align the clip to where the hole in the door is - unless you plan on drilingl in a new hole.
The face side, from my experience is a crap shoot. I have seen some at swap meets done, and seems the sellers can not rember by who. Hopefully somebody will post a "who"about them.
I have used these guys before. They are very good.

I haven't seen any that match the factory vinyl grain.
