New veneer on dashboard part
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.

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.

1963 RHS A/C kick panel - photos needed
Posted by SK on June 2, 2025 at 2:20pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
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,
