My first attempt to replace the old veneer from the dashboard. I used Padouk veneer. That is similar to Narra wood. And for this first attempt I am quite happy with the result. I need to varnish it when all the other parts are done.

That looks fantastic! I actually just pulled the last two wood panels from the 63 Eldorado I am parting out. It is a non-AC car so it as the solid left and right end panels. All other panels from this car have been sold but you will see these end panels go up on my Facebook parts page soon.
Cees,
Your updated work is really professional! Excellent work with the adhesive.

An update on the parts that also have new veneer. I found the long part the biggest challenge to do. Once the veneer touches the glue (it is contact spray glue) there is no possibillity to change or reposition it. That made me nervous to do. But I am very happy with the result. I love the warm colour.
Looks nice! Also the unique solid panels used on non-AC Eldorados and Fleetwoods ... more common to see on the convertible Eldorado like the 63 Eldo parts car I am working on.
Cees,
You are probably right!!!! Their loss!!!

Thanks Dennis, but I think I will be doing it as a hobby. And I dont think they will pay the travel costs.😂😂
Cees,
This is GREAT work - you could work for Cadillac! Excellent.

While in the middle of my front suspension rebuild, I realized it would be nice to remove the bumpers on the control arms. Does anyone have an easy method for removal? Continue

Could someone post front and back photos of the 1963 right-hand kick panel with A/C?
My car didn’t come with the original kick panels, so it's a bit of a mystery to me how I should cut the backing board and carpet to fit around the A/C.
Many thanks,
