Yup. Just look at the stuff on the newer trucks. It didn't get put there for looks.

Definitely an awesome wife. Love that she not only has the skills but is interested in what you like too! Thats not all that common in todays "arrangements". Everyone seems to do there own thing separately.

Okay, here she is with the walnut veneer on the glove box and ash tray... Again, the wife made the template and cut it!

Nice, all the way around! Did you buy a new chrome molding for around the headliner? If so, where from? It looks great!

I got the headliner chrome from Classic Parts. www.classicparts.com

I get most of my stuff from them because they have a flat rate for shipping, and I usually get my order in 2-3 days.

Wow, I really like the wooden dash cover and the veneers. I think you need to veneer the instrument cluster bezel to finish it off, if you haven't already.
