I will be adding wood to mine which will match the wooden gage cluster, radio delete gage panel, ash tray wood accent, and door panel inserts...

Those are nice. Did you CNC them or are they hand-built? What's the wood, and what color are you going to stain them?

They are hand made using basic tools...drill press, hole saws, elec jig saw, and miter saw. The wood is red oak and I used a penetrating oil (Penofin brand) to treat it which has a bit of gray solids in it to antique the wood ever so slightly. Here's my thread with more details...

The above thread has a great glovebox example using wood veneer and a 54 Chevrolet script emblem too.
