Great looking work.
I think a wood shifter knob would finish things off just right. Looks much better than my dealer installed plood. |

Yeah, I'm likin it. The wood fits in nicely with the '70s look of the original interior. So what was the thickness of the panels ? Working with veneers takes some skill and some special tools, but its easy to find 1/4" cherry plywood that finishes up real nice, and I think woodworker's stores carry other hardwood-veneer plywoods also. In a few years, I might get around to working on my interior; I'll definitely keep this option in mind ! |

Oh yeah I have been thinking too. I am ready to go; just need to figure the dimensions-template would make it easy.
I had an 70's oak plywood on there that cracked-ruined my plates crow-barring the thing off. There is beautiful exotic wood on eekbay. Just look up exotic lumber. Got my jigsaw ready. Just need that shape! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) |

Nice work. My 70 has the wood dash face also. I assume a PO did it I like the look. Also Dino wood steering wheel. Attached image(s)

Look's really nice. BTW where did you get the vinyl for the door panels and seats? I'm looking to redo my interior and would like to keep it tan.

Thanks for the props guys! I like it even better now! Here is where I got the veneer ...
http://www.wood-veneers.com/index1.htm It was a PIA and took me a couple tries. It is very thin and is not the easist stuff to work with. That is why you need some kind of pattern or subsrate. itsa914 - yours is the inspiration for my wood dash. Like to wood steering wheel and matching wood shifter would be cool. Solex - I actually used the original black ones and painted them. Used that vinyl paint. Looks great now, but time will tell how it wears. Guy told me as long as it is not in a high wear area (i.e. seat) it should be OK? Now if I can just get it running as good as the interior looks?? |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) Cool I was thinking about a wood shift knob also. Look in our own resource section for a knob |
