    Just want to say up front that I have no financial interest in this. But I thought I’d share that the Buick community has a new option for dash woodgrain for our 70-72 A-bodies. There’s a vendor in the parts section at the Nats selling what I think are the best examples to date. These are made with the same stock material as originals with backlighting and correct font. Supporting him will provide us with a great option going forward. Check him out if you’re at the Nats. And for those not at the Nats, here’s his website.

    Ya his decals were awesome. He didn't have the non AC yet, but he had an example and told me he will have them available very soon.

    I bought two sets they are very nice and he’s a great guy when I get back to Oregon I am checking my console stash to see if I have a decent set of panels, he said he’s willing to try and match them up if he could do it well, so if any one else has a cherry,as in nice,set of wood grain console decals check with him, he seems willing to try if they will be nice. He’s very into the quality of the final product as you can tell by his work.

    Would you look at that: someone actually took the time to make a repro part correct!

    He said he made it because the repops for his car looked terrible and he wanted it correct. He is a nice guy.

    I'm way ahead of you guys. I think I was the first to talk to mark and buy a set. They are very nice. I spoke to him at length about Greg and others doing them before. I also mentioned the console deal.

    When I bought them I asked if he had something safe to put them in. He showed me how he planned to ship them in a routed out piece of wood!

    They definitely look like quality pieces.

    These did look great. Mark and his wife were very nice and explained how he developed this new woodgrain decal set with good color, size, font, woodgrain, and back lighting . He did have a nice display showing a comparison of all the old options available to this new one; a definite eye opener. Did anyone get a pic of it? As goldx said, he would develop a console set if he gets a good example to analyze.

    The Nationals were a blast this year!!!!!
