Re: woodgrain dash bezel
The hardest thing to make for me, are the thin plastic dash bezel backing plates. OEM dash bezels are different from repops in gauge hole sizes, and there are different styles of aftermarket bezels. Every one that I make, I have to make by hand to fit it to the actual bezel it's going on.
Also, to answer the OP's question, the original Cheyenne Super bezels did have grain on them as well. That's the reason for the thin plastic backing. Something to keep the woodgrain from peeling from the uneven surface, and it is then contact cemented to the dash bezel. Trevor
