My TR is mostly original but I took some liberties and changed my dash and
glove box cover to wood veneer. Using veneer I was able to keep the dash
center metal back so it would still provide the ground for the electrical.
I use pour over poly that is much like the AH 3000 dash. Matched both with
a piece of bird eye maple which I think gives it a touch of class but can
still be easily returned to original if necessary. I never did like the
vinyl covered wood.
I can send you a picture if you want.

Subject: [TR] Dash Painting/P.Coating
I know I am not the first to think of trying this so I would again implore
the List for BTDT wisdom.
I am thinking of either painting or powder coating the dash on my current
TR3 project, but curious as to what others have done with the cubby box
door. So far, my only solution is making an aluminium panel to replace the
vinyl covered wood that is currently there.
All thoughts and pictures appreciated,
Cheers,
Bill
