well, to be honest, I'm more of a CF guy, so I wouldn't really do anything woodgrain related now, but who knows in the future!

Keep up the good work man

im relocating all of the window and lock switches to the center console and the rear window switches are going in the door pull cover

Wow that interior is nuts, I'd love to put real veneers in my G lol!! I was wondering how you were gonna contour the wood into the window switch grooves.

oh the vacuum sealer takes great care of that part
11-14-2011, 07:25 PM

Is it possible to smooth out the veneers at all? I noticed some waves and some areas that don't seem to blend smoothly.

Wow, I love how you're changing the interior up. Classy.

If you're relocating the master window/lock switch to the center console like most European luxo cars, I think it would be super trick to relocate the ignition cylinder switch to the center as well, as coined by SAAB. I don't think we'll see another VIP Galant with that at all. :D

OK GUYS IM BACK I HAD A CRAZY WEEK BUT .....IVE BEEN THINKING..... i want to just redo my whole interior lol
