Wood interior trim on vette
I’m looking at a95 vette for sale nice body decent but the interior has all the wood trims everywhere not my taste did anyone ever change it any tips maybe cover it with something or have it painted? |
Take a heat gun or hair drier and soften the glue and remove it. Then take some goo be gone and get rid of the rest That was a popular aftermarket thing. |
A few years ago someone made replacemen units for all the wood. He did a great job and looked so much better. The problem is that he was a home swood worker with a high degree of skill. which would be difficult to replicate/4

My 87 had it when i got it. Took 2weekends to get it off, but was well worth it. Factory plastics look clean and simple....

IMO it is gross. Remove it.

If you have a 1984 thru 1989 Vette, it is mandatory to have a wood dash kit and to top it off, a wood steering wheel

Man....I got one of those kits coming to install on my 85....did some tranny work a while ago and when I put the console back together, I bought a new "burlwood" shifter knob....it actually looks real nice.....when I saw the burlwood kit, it wasn't cheap, I bought it......thought it would look good until you guys.......:reddevil

If you remove it be prepared to break a trim piece or two. Anything that has thin sections be careful., especially around the gauges. You might want to consider getting a new one just in case. If you need it you have no down time, if not, you've got a spare.

removed the wood from my 86
It was put on using double sided tape and that was a bear to get off but rubbing alcohol worked. I gave the kit away on the forum. I'm pretty sure that this kit drilled some holes that were not there to start with on my dash ... don't know what to do about those.

Leather ??
Has anyone tried wrapping the dash pieces in early C4 in black leather ? Or the dashpad ?
|
What, on a Vette!!?? :U

I bought an 82 instead but thanks guys |
