Windows and doors will require new trim work, or if you are really good at pulling trim, a reinstallation of the old trim.

That would work. I don't know if it would be any easier than just pulling the paneling and moving the outlet. That also makes it really easy to see and mark the studs. The drywall work is the same whether it is 1/4 or 1 inch thick.

My chief concern is the doors and windows. The only paneled wall I've touched is the wall between the kitchen and garage that has a door between the two. The door casing is flush with the studs not the paneling. Who ever did the original work just cheated the difference by using that cheap prefab molding and bending it to make up the difference. I made up for that difference by custom routering a new door trim. That was a lot of work even for the thickness of the paneling and off course nothing is square and plumb on a 50 year old house.
