I put the base on the other day and now I'm ready to attempt the wood grain. I have to try a mimic a walnut finish. It probably won't be to Dearborn standards but it should be better than what was there after 83 years.
I'd sent him five sets (five cars) of moldings a few years back. He gave me a little discount as I send him so many. I think the normal price is about $1000 per car.
