1977 Aspen R/T build

I did my woodgrain trim,took the clearcoat off,used lighter brown acrylic paint and dry-brushed some grain on it,then cleared it,Its looks OK........better than it did.

Hey Chris,the front spoiler finally found its home,20 years later.

That console trim almost looks like some of that thin stick on side woodgrain moulding they used back in the 70`s . I was wondering how close it is the the original wood trim. I may order some of the vinyl and try it out. The problem is the chrome bead if it is bad too. No matter what I do I doubt it will look as good as the original.

For the chrome,I used chrome foil insulation tape from Home Depot,Did the chrome on the door panels with it also.

I've got one. But when I'm home my time is very limited as some on here know. I'm slow to be able to get back to you. So if not in a hurry, we can chat
