Default 70 Firebird Dash

Is there any restoration service that works on the wood grain portion of the dash?

There is no way to repair them that I am aware of.
Mine was peeling on the left side, and started (iirc) near the headlight switch, so I ended up finding a replacement from a member here.

I have a sticker printer and maybe in future I could re create the grain style of the 70 and strip old reinstall sticker and the varnish 3 or 4 layers of clean. It sounds like fun to me. I know it will not be factory but it might look cool for a good driver. I always since a boy had at least too. My dad's getting a little upset with me and changing the car around he always says ,"I had it all stock, son"

I've looked into re-doing one using water transfer printing/hydrographics...100s of different films available, including many different woods.

I used the inlay from YearOne and it matched nicely.

No, it was a nice warm brown, almost a perfect color match to the original.

You nailed my thoughts EXACTLY.

Considering that there were six different patterns/grains of the wood pattern...

x2 stock was simply a vinyl sheet heated around raised edges and trimmed after wrapping over cut outs. No reason you can't strip peeling original and replace with correct woodgrain sheet to match era. I redid my custom 78 dash with rosewood sheet from a stockist that supplied furniture and cabinet makers, a fraction of the price and probably similar product to one stocked by a restoration shop. I wouldn't want one pre-cut, if that's how they come.

I have a couple of the early wood bezels. They're definitely a lot different comprehension to the later style.
