Woodgraining Service

[Author nameAuthor names are only available to PAS members.]

I am considering professional help with woodgraining the dash of my ‘31; I am not being a perfectionist but I want a better job than I can do. I prefer not to ship my dash, so I would like to find someone fairly close to me.

Hello Randy,

Seeing that you re a Louisiana Boy, you may want to contact Merlin Smith.

Alternatively, you could ask Wayne Hancock, because he and his son, Marc, are Beyond Excellent at Restoration.

Good Luck!

Peter

I had very good results with the Grain It technologies guy but of course he is not in LA. He sells kits for DIY  but also will do jobs himself. I originally had all my woodgrain done by a guy in Missouri using the Grain It system but when I discovered years later I had two LH rears Cislak found a RH but meanwhile I discovered the guy in Missouri had closed up shop. I had Grain It do the RH. He did a great job matching to what the other guy had done with excellent quality.

I didn’t have any issues with damage in shipping in any of the first or second rounds. The first round shipping everything (dash, and all window mouldings, etc) I adapted a large Home Depot flat screen TV shipping box.

Hi, Jim. I am impressed with the products GrainIt offer; I bought a kit of supplies for my project. It just didn’t match the wood window surrounds in my car at all.
For the 1931 Series 43, only the top bar of the pressed-steel dash, just below the windshield, is grained.
