Dan, I have seen a number of the motors come up on eBay and I think that the way these failed was that the gear stripped in them. One seller mentioned that reproduced gears are available. I think the reproduced kit would be the way to go, except cost.

Paul, are the switches you are referring to the ones with the rounded bezel around them? I think I am going to have to track down an actual set of door switch panels; I will look at mine first and see if they can be modified. I know these panels were used in other cars and several other years as well, so maybe I will have better luck than I think in finding them.

Thanks to both of you for your input!
