The interior will be painted silver with black leather seats and door panels. If I go with the wood I have a matching glove box door and would do some wooden door handle/armrest to match.

Ive never been a fan of the wood look in most cars and trucks so I like the more stock looking one myself. But I will say the craftsman ship on the wood ones is very nice. Did you make those?

My thoughts exactly! That's some beautiful wood.

No I didn't make them, one of my cousins got them with a truck he bought for parts and gave them to me. I sanded and put a couple of coats of poly on them. They apear to have been done on a CNC or something, at first I thought the rings and outer raised part were glued on, but they are not, it's all one piece. The glove box door bow tie is cut out with a darker wood glued in. Someone put a lot of time and thought into them.

I like the original, but the wood would cool if you made a console to match.

I'm a fan of the original dash, but as mentioned above, the craftmanship of is amazing on the wood panels.

You could run with that wood. If you have a wood bed or are planning on having a wood bed, stain the wood you are gonna do in the interior with the same stain as the bed. That would look good. Just my opinion.

I like the original

I would go billet aluminum with those gauges.. the wood could be cooler if it had something in the middle and the chevy bowtie wasn't backwards!

i love wood, but it should be darker... oh crap, that didnt come out right. i definitely would go with the wood, it just needs to be a little darker

I appreiciate the craftsmanship in the wood panels, but I wouldnt run them, JMHO

With those guages the original looks better IMHO. The wood is neat and that is fantastic craftsmanship, no doubt about that, but I don't think it would look the best.

That was the first thing I noticed, but I read carefully through all of the responses before commenting. I can't stand it when someone comes in and makes a comment (that is already there) and acts like they were the only one to see it or have that opinion.

Yeah, that would be like me...something to do with ADD.

The wood ones are nice but the question would be is this a DD or a weekend cruiser. I could see the sun doing major damage to the wood ones if it was in the sun too much. I would be afraid of cracking or warping

I like the wood. However the backwards bowtie should be a little bigger as well.

i apreciate the craftmanship of those wood parts but to make it fit the interiour you prolly need to have more parts made like wat they said a center consolle facia (you can use leather on the sides) and a strip above the doorpanels under the windows .
the colour would look great with cream or brown/redish leather but i agree it needs to be a little darker for the black leather you using , it would pop too mush
