Part III: Real wood inserts....

Link to part II:
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1636213

So the door inserts and some of the center console pieces have been drying for two days so I installed them tonight. I am still working on the pieces to surround the stereo as I had to recut them to a tighter tolerance around the radio face. I have another 3-4 days of work on them (I have 1-2 coats of the initial laquer and then 2-3 of the marine version and each coat drys for 24 hours).

Inserts

Maybe you shoud start some woodworking seminars at Bloomington and Carlisle. They look really nice.

Then again I still did the doubletake seeing the 5th gear courtesy of Mr. Keisler!

When you 1st started the project, I thought "tacky". Holy cr*p, those are beautiful!
