Re: Restore 1973 Woodgrain dash bezel
That does look great. I think the reproduction woodgrain dash applique is a very light flexible plastic backing the vinyl is attached to. Maybe the original applique can be stripped of the vinyl and new material attached?

Re: Restore 1973 Woodgrain dash bezel
Should be able to strip the old stuff with a moderate application of heat.

Re: Restore 1973 Woodgrain dash bezel
I think I will try that vinyl on the later bezel, I have a spare. The one that has the flat aluminum on it, might be easier.
