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.

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.
 
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.
 
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)

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 .
 
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.
