Is there any one that produces or has for sale an exact reproduction woodgrain kit for the dash and console for a 1970 Buick GSX, non air and automatic? thanks!
I'm not sure how "exact" exact is, but try contacting Greg Setter. Here's a link to a recent thread of his. I and many others here have bought his product and been totally satisfied. :TU: http://www.v8buick.com/showthread.php?t=143520&highlight=woodgrain

Hi Claude, I have used the Greg Setter wood grain set on my Buick and it is very good. Just make sure that you test fit before you peel off the backing, as mine was slightly oversize and needed some trimming. There are four pieces (two for the radio, one for the heater control and one for the headlight switch area. All needed some trimming with the heater control needing the most and the most careful trimming. No big deal if you take your time and measure carefully. I have seen your work, so it should not be a problem for you. Cheers Randy
Yes, on occasion one will possibly have to trim a piece or two slightly. Mostly due to the expand/contract nature of the bezel over the years, thickness of plastic chrome if replated, etc. There are variations. But, as Randy says, take your time and work carefully. BTW, if anyone ends up messing up a piece in a trim situation, let me know - I'll get you a replacement - n/c. GS
Here is one of Greg's kits installed. It is important to remove the Climate Control from the dash bezel before installing the woodgrain. If not, it will need to be trimmed quite a bit, and then when the lights are on at night the lighting will seep through the edges. I made that mistake on the first car I installed it on, but figured it out the hard way. ou:
