Plywood replacement panels are a great idea.

Luann (mahogany) plywood �" is about the least expensive plywood you can
buy and it will "finish" beautifully. If you wanted to spend more, birch
plywood is readily available, too.

Save the old panel pieces you remove and use them for templates.

The plywood can be painted, stained, papered or left unfinished. The
problem with "repapering" the panels is during humid and dry extremes, the
paper tends to expand and contract.
