'late model' door panels are MUCH nicer than the scummy early models..... it seems like a step back...
i would either get late model doors, wire em up, and enjoy. done. no vent, just a nice large window and better mirrors, and better speakers, and better switches/door levers/handles.
OR
get the early fixed window section from the junkyard (or a spare set of doors). and swap them in. the wind wing is flimsy and easily broken during removal, but the fixed is stout. start with pulling the wind wing.
