Woodgrain Console Covering for 1968 and 1969
Short answer: At the time of this discussion, there was no truly correct reproduction woodgrain for the 1968–69 console, dash trim, radio face, and ashtray — only options ranging from cheap “contact paper” to die-cut pieces that miss on grain/texture, edge and recess forming, and durable adhesive.
The original was woodgrain bonded to thin sheet metal (the metal backing itself is a good repro candidate after 30+ years). The key element is sourcing the correct embossed material for the right appearance, grain, texture, and wear; once that’s found, the dies and forming process are relatively straightforward. The hobby would pay for a properly done part — not another “best we can do” quick fix.
