I wouild also like to do this WITHOUT removing the dash. Do you
listers think this is possible, or is the dash removal too easy to do
with all the other benefits included such as maybe re-painting the
bezels, the ease of wood re-finishing on a bench versus inside a small
car, etc.
FWIW, My mechanic broke the gear shift knob on my TR6 while working on
the car. It had 25 years of dirt, etc on it and the factory finish was
completely gone. Fortunatley, it split cleanly in 2 pieces when they
broke it. For shits and giggles, I glued it back together with wood
glue, sanded it clean with 200 grit sandpaper (being careful not to
remove the top bevel that holds the logo in) and have just finished my
2nd coat of high-gloss exterior spar varnish (with UV protectors) on
it. I plan of 6 coats of varnish to give it a really glossy, deep
finish. Between coats, I LIGHTLY sand with wet 400 grit paper. So far,
it looks gorgeous!
I would do the dash the same way.
