Good luck but I doubt if you can fabricate a door as light and stiff as the original steel door.particularly if you are looking for smooth.

I see you used spray foam to fill in. Companies like Aircraft spruce and Wicks sell a two part foam that works very well and is much stiffer and cheaper than the spray foam at the box store.

Your door would be best left a base for a more aero structure. Just my opinion.
