Since our gauge cluster received its restoration, we couldn't very well place the old faded woodgrain over it, now could we? Whitegauges.net has come out with their version of woodgrain, and we're sold on it. It's easy to install, anyone can do it, and it looks great when finished. Sure, diehard purists may notice the grain is a little different than the factory original, but try to get a factory original. if you change all of it-and all of it does come in the kit-we're sure you'll be happy.
In our May 2005 issue, we did an in-depth article on how to restore rallye gauges. But now our aged woodgrain bezel was really showing its age. Luckily for us-and you guys-Whitegauges.net has come out with a simple-to-apply and good-looking alternative.
The kit we are using is a pre-cut and printed resurfacing kit for '68-'70 B-Bodies made from a high-quality vinyl plastic that is resistant to the effects of the sun, and normal wear and tear. What's more, if you are planning a modernized interior, you can even get it in carbon fiber or a dark oak with a burl wood effect. The kit comes complete with all the necessary pieces needed to cover the gauge cluster, radio bezel, passenger-side dash, and the two smaller end cap pieces. They have also recently made available the console wood for an automatic console.
Not only do they carry B-Body coverings, but you can get dash and console coverings for rallye- and non-rallye-equipped E-Bodies; a '70-'74 Dart/Demon kit is also available.
Woodgrain dashes were an option that decorated many a Mopar, and now you can make your woodgrain look new again, thanks to whitegauges.net.
