36 chevy replacing doorwood with tubing, anyone done this?

I have a 36 chevy 2 door master deluxe, trunk model sedan, real nice condition, a little surface rust underneath. Still runs and drives. Never been cut up, just an elderly car ripe for making into a rod. The only bad part is the doors, Metal is good, Wood is bad. The car came with a wood kit for the doors but it does not seem an easily approched thing since I am more of a metal worker/welder than a wood worker. I have fabricated metal/steel for a living the last 20 years. do you think it's easier to use square tubing and flat stock than to use the wood? Or, does anyone know of a easier way to go? any help would be appreciated! Thanks
