[Tigers] Re-veneering the dash

[Tony Somebody]

I have sent 3 dashes to a business in Ca. I will search for the number. They
reveneer Rolls Royces- I had orginal dashes from 2 cars and a thrird I bought
at a TE/AE United- it need some repair but  the veneering and wood work is
beautiful and matches the orginal dash Ive seen. Cost approximately $500
including shipping BUT the job is excellent. The number is 1 805 962 1579 and
ask for Tony and mention I reccomended him. The name of the company is on the
tip of my tongue- r-something restorations I THINK- think being a key word. I
guranteeeeeeee you will lov ethri work and your new dash.
Tony in southern IL (TtT)
PS- ask about cost as it may have been less than what Im remembering- perhaps
the dash that had a pice

Andy,

The dashes on the URL you presented do look great, no question about it.

And re-doing a dash IS a big deal that can require months.

But, looking at dashes on the Prestige Autowood site, I didn't see any that
include the factory hole filled with a chrome plug located To the left of the
holes for blinker and hi-low beam lights, and then there are the questions of
correct shade and grain.

Rgds,

why not just buy one from Prestige Autowood?  I realize that they are pricey,
but they are very well done and look correct in the car.  All you'll have to
do is install it.  I've got one in my car and it still looks new after 25
years.  Evidently, redoing the original dashes must be difficult because you
don't see too many of them done right; one can almost invariably tell that
they were "homemade."  From my way of thinking, if I'm going to have to be
staring at that dash for years to come, I would want it right.
