United Pacific Woodgrained Repro Dash
Could someone please comment on the woodgrain finish on these dashes that has actually laid hands on one. I know the fit is good.
My original dash has holes cut in it I want to eliminate and fill but I will not pay $1000 plus to re wood grain it. This appears to be a solution to return my dash to its original smooth appearance without radio, ac control, mounted in it. It is far enough away from the mouldings, I can live with any difference in graining/color. thank you

Re: United Pacific Woodgrained Repro Dash
Have it hydro wood grained. Much cheaper than hand done and looks like factory.

Re: United Pacific Woodgrained Repro Dash
I woodgrained my dash by gluing walnut veneer, 1" edging strips, to the metal with contact cement. Took time but cost me less than $20. You could fill the unwanted holes beforehand.

Shown below are some original examples (you have to discount for brighter ambient lighting and greater UV deterioration in the example on the right). Last edited by DavidG; 05-10-2018 at 07:40 PM. |

Re: United Pacific Woodgrained Repro Dash
thank you David, I am sure it would satisfy me and would certainly look better than it does now with a 90's radio hanging out of it on one side.
Got one of the new dash panels that holds five gauges and fits in the original hole. Very nice quality. Larry

Re: United Pacific Woodgrained Repro Dash
The United Pacific Woodgrained Repro Dash looks great, if you have a 32 and your looking for a dash that is woodgrained the united dash would be a great dash to buy, its a great price for a steal dash with woodgrain finish on it, summit, and speedway have them for $ 404.99, thats a really good deal , i would say the woodgrain finish on it is hydrographics, if i had to guess i bet julianos is doing the hydrographics woodgraining on the dashes

Re: United Pacific Woodgrained Repro Dash
I was following this thread with great interest & was curious to know if anyone can duplicate the wood grain on the repo dash should a person want to grain the garnish mouldings as well.

Re: United Pacific Woodgrained Repro Dash
Most likely Juliano's and I thought Honest Charlie's was doing the same way.

if it was me i would match the garnish moldings with the same grain that is on the United Pacific Woodgrained Repro Dash, i have looked at the United Pacific Woodgrained Repro Dash, then i went to the julianos web page and looked at the samples of the hydrographics woodgraing the grain thats on the United Pacific Woodgrained Repro Dash it looks like to me the Metallic Brazilian Burlwood, i think honest charlie uses the original style plate and roller system Last edited by wexford; 05-16-2018 at 06:01 PM.
