The Real Wood Deal!
As you can see I did a mock up version of the "WoodGrain" look in my truck.. I was a bit ghetto and used shelf paper for the "wood" look to get a feel of it.. took some heavy exacto-knife skills...LOL but you all get the idea... What I'm trying to do.. is see if anybody got those dash-kits that are pre-cut to fit.. with a wood grain pattern,. not necesarilly 'real' wood..... I've seen them a few times before, but can't remember where to get a hold of something like that... Thanks for any ideas or posts.

Re: The Real Wood Deal!
Thats Kool!!...Thats what I call custom! Or even stuff thats not actual wood.. would look good I'm assuming... I know they have the stick on stuff for these newer cars.. to simulate the woodgrain look.....

Re: The Real Wood Deal!
Yeah... i know that real wood that motornut has probably costs a pretty penny!.. but it looks great. I was thinking that pre-cut simulated stuff. I tried the link you left for me.. but I didn't get anything???

Re: The Real Wood Deal!
You could use the panels and trim from a '77. The arm rests are real wood, but not original.

Re: The Real Wood Deal!
I think it looks really good in the pics. If it looks as good in person I would just leave it. To me it looks more OEM, as I never thought that OEM looked that "real" to begin with.

Re: The Real Wood Deal!
Classic parts has woodgrain decals for dashes.
there at www.classicparts.com i have there newest catalog and its on page 32 of the printed catalog under the listing "Instrument Bezel Insert Repair Kits" and it comes in woodgrain or brushed aluminum.i would wait a couple days as i read there website currently has a trojan horse virus so maybe wait a few days to let them iron out that issue before checking out there site.
