Re-skinning an interior door panel is a PITA. I know...I did it. Very tedious and not worth the difference in cost of the new panels (IMO). Bite the bullet... [And, no, there haven't been any 'velvet' covered interior panels since Huggy Bear sold his wheels.]

I’ve done the skins. . . way back when new panels were not available! No way would I ever attempt doing this again. They turned out ok, but the job is not easy to do and any imperfection that is under the skin will show if not repaired. It might not show up today or tomorrow but when the skin shrinks it will.
The word on the street is “ain’t no velvet”, I’d have to agree.

Here is what the panel should look like on a 68
