I bought the decal and it was not worth the money.

Re: Instrument woodgrain bezel?
What material is that, it looks like a wood veneer with a polyester high gloss finish over it at least as i went more into the site and looked at consoles and stuff.
For the 67-72 there is a backing plate there, is that supplied or is that an original face just with the veneer stuck onto it? Warren |

Re: Instrument woodgrain bezel?
The original Cheyenne bezel was a backed applique,more than a mylar sticker.I`ve installed the stickers and the tend to shrink.
What`s the source of that wood veneer?I remember they were made and stopped due to problems.That was a long time ago.I`m glad to see they are out,again.

Re: Instrument woodgrain bezel?
Well I am curious about that. I have done cabinet work and patternmaking for 25 plus years some similiar types of work only with 3/4 solid.
8" or 9" material whatever it isl has the potential to move about 1/8 shrinkage wise in the summer compared to when colder and damper cross grain so not sure how they deal with that, is it on a metal backer or something?? Will run a few when there is time already planed to maybe cherry and birdseye maple. The original if it is on my truck is a verneer not a solid 1/8 as you say. So I imagine it is about .030 or less, veneer has got thinner over the years. Warren |
