Fabricated Dash Woodgrain Replacements - 1968 8-Track GTX

[SoCal440GTX]

I have improved the graphic around the thumb wheel holes though, and I'm working with the waterjet cutter to do the best job they can to cut it, but this isn't machining, there are small variations.

Thanks.

I'll dig out my old AM radio face plate and post some photos.

those look really good !

just to confirm, the wood is glued to the black finish?
So if I have a dash that's already restored to black, I need to buy the wood overlay and attack to it?

Ord, these are 1 piece, dye infused aluminum. There is no overlay. These go in place of the original plastic pieces. The original plastic pieces had the black / wood grain / chrome painted on the back surface. What is your car? If it's a 70 then that's completely different. These are for 68 & 69 only. Sorry.

ah. thanks

Looks like I'm ready for the spring fling. Hopefully I can sell some sets, else I'm going to have to shut this project down. Wish me luck! Thanks to all who have helped and are continuing to help.

I would by a set sooner than later if I could afford it. I just bought a new windshield and headliner. Then I have to pay the interior and glass guys. In my case, being retired is great but the financial situation sucks.

Good luck on Spring Fling. I'm sure you'll have good success selling these.

Those look great! Ive got a 69 Bird and a Satty I'm interested in getting these for. See ya there.

Great stuff man! I doubt you'll have any issue moving that quality product.
Good luck!

1968 & 1969 Plymouth GTX & Sport Satellite.
Some Dodge Coronets & RT's had similar.

So does the 69 GTX dash have a square trim thing around the cluster like the Roadrunner?

Thanks

 

[SoCal440GTX]

No, the GTX and Sport Satellite do not have the bezel around the cluster. The wood grain panels overlay the lens on the left and right and there is a chrome trim that goes across the top, hiding the attachment screws. This picture shows everything. (Thanks @FURYDAVE)

SoCal I sent you a PM 69 RT pushbutton set Peter

 

[PeteBell68]

Those look great . I think you should ask one of the suppliers such as Tony,s or something I imagine if more people knew you could sell them ..
And at $295 that a good price considering the quality of them .

 

[SoCal440GTX]

@FURYDAVE was kind enough to post a video of his beautiful GTX dash.

 

[TrackPack]

That is some amazing work.

That is some amazing work.

To quote a line from BTO, "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet".

 

[Lespaul]

SoCal are you taking orders for these? I have a 69 coronet. I tried to send a pm but your inbox is full. Thanks in advance.
