Hi, doors are not the easiest of panels to do. You will have to take moulds from your existing doors of the outer and inner skins. Also you will have to build in hard points for mounting hinges, lock mechanisms etc.
Core materials are really just a way of separating the layers of CF. In basic terms the greater the distance (thicker the core ) between the layers the stiffer/stronger the panel will be. This is because the fibres have to stretch further for a given deflection.
Typical lay-up for the outer skin would be 2 layers CF - 3mm Soric - Kevlar/Aramid ( to give some pierce protection and reduce splintering if the worst happens ) - E Glass. If the panel is fairly flat you could use Closed Cell Foam in place of the Soric. This would result in a slightly lighter panel as the resin up-take is less but it doesn't conform to curves like Soric.
Hope that helps and good luck with the project. Warren
