1979 Marquis creamy goodness -
oh man! Nice!
My woodworking high school past is screaming: that's just veneer + vacuum bag + varnish! Why not do it yourself!
But as I mentally go through the time and tools, and to not make a mess of it (veneering can be tricksty), that's $250 well spent.
You should really pimp it out with pearl inlay, next! -
No wood working skills on this end....only thing I did is mix half water/ half semi gloss poly
and made two coats over it...for protection....is semi shine now like the burl interior I have

Only issue with mine was attaching the ash tray latches back on. A bit tricky. Then some passenger in the back seat pulled upwards on one of them and poped it off.Scars are tatoos of the fearlessComment

Did you remove the plates from the pannels first or is the wood glued right on top of the plates still in the pannel?Scars are tatoos of the fearlessComment
