1969-70 Woodgrain Dash Reproductions!!! update

[rchappelear 28]

So after my last post about how to fix the faded lost chrome around the deluxe instrument panels. I have found a guy who is selling a Reproduction Deluxe Instrument panel. Here is the link, and sounds like they are working on doing a Clock area one shortly as well.

Su-wEET!

 

I kind of just want a panel with no clock. My clock doesn't work anyway...

I kinda like the way the bezel looks in black before the woodgrain is applied.

 

Handgard. Do a search on cleaning the clocks. Its the most common thing that stops these clocks.

I searched for cleaning clock and turned up two results, a thread I mentioned the clock not working in long ago, and this thread ;)

 

The first thread had some useful stuff however, I will try and fix it sometime...

Clock repair may have been a better term. But you can use 80's quartz clocks as a replacement to get the original working. Or get a less desirable one and swap the gears.

Figures they start making this stuff 8 months after I paid big bucks to have mine re-chromed by vacuum plating.

I don't know much about the deluxe stuff but aren't the inner rings supposed to be argent and only the outer rings chrome if it is truly to be "correct"??????? I was also surprised to see the black plastic without the woodgrain, I thought the originals were metal?

I like the looks and price but I need one for a 1970. The steering column was slightly thicker because of the column mounted key system.

This company took care of all mine, looks just like the picture.

 

Cheers Vic.

Yes, the inner rings are supposed to be argent. The bezel itself is plastic; however, the woodgrain piece is metal.
