Do-it-Yourself dash repair.

I made thoose myself. They are gonna be changed out for a wood trim kit soon probably. One that has the door pieces, dash and around the guages. I want one of thoose high gloss ones that uses the 3m tape on the back.

Thing is most of the kits are burlwood or zebrano or whatever. The zebrano looks like what's in there now but not as light, and the burlwood is funny and swirly looking lol, its also alot darker.

hmmm....

I wonder how the speaker openings would look if they were trimmed out with some stock that matches the wood trim kit.

Reminds me of a former manager who collected burls off of Pine trees to use in his carvings. He was able to remove the burls without harming the tree. The random grain patterns and color shades made his carvings really nice.

Nice...I wonder if there's a tool to create the same wrinkley texture of the existing dash.
