- I have been playing with the idea of making a wood dash for my 73 Midget, but not the contact paper style, but by using a veneer to laminate ontop of the current dash. Anyone got any experience tryin

- Isn't your dash padded like my 74's? How would you attach the wood to the dash and how would you treat the curves and bulges of the padded dash? I like the idea, and do some amateur woodwork, but jus

- Well I had wondered this myself. The dash is not really padded on the front face is it? It looks like ABS Plastic, but I am sure it is not. But it is hard so I wondered if it could be done. The other
