The veneer needs to be trimed just a little for it to fit properly in the speedo pod.. All partswere bought from ames. One thing is that the blinker and high beam pods were not chrome, not sure if the originals were, so if they are you may want to check around to see if any other suppliers have them done that way. Also I applied one coat of stain, and 2 coats of linseed which gave in a nice uniform look.

Originals were chrome , who supplied the dash housing ? I would send it back & get the proper one as all of your work looks spot on but the missing chrome from the blinker and high beam pods is not good.
