Several variations of console woodgrain were used. 1969-70 B-body woodgrain was originally printed directly onto the thin metal plates. Then it was covered by a rigid, clear decal with wood-like "ticking" (scratches). Present-day woodgrain decals, which we use, are a high-quality print on pre-cut adhesive vinyl with built-in ticking. All openings are also pre-cut.
Color variations also existed for console woodgrain. For 1969-70 B-body, approximately 20% were light walnut brown, and 80% were dark walnut brown.
At this time, only dark brown walnut woodgrain is available for any console.
Installation instructions include removal of the old woodgrain, repair advice for door hinge retainers, restoration of console top parts, and precise X-acto knife trimming around wood edges. These decals are deliberately cut over-sized because this vinyl shrinks until it is applied. Additionally, more than one plate-size exists, and some reproduction plates do not match the original Chrysler plates. Delicate, precise trimming is required. All openings are pre-cut.
