Includes Michigan Shorter Shifter and new leather shift boot. Mahogany veneer is not holding up well over time though.

Dash wood made by Denise Burchette (bird's eye maple).
Vinyl covering on dash by shop in Los Angeles.
Short shifter made by cutting off and rethreading the end of standard chrome shifter extension.

A matching bird's eye maple shift knob would be better, huh?

Another great work by Denise. This one out of solid mahogany. Two years, a few thousand miles, and still holding up great.

Thanks Trey. For some reason I was having trouble posting the actual pic.

I use the img code, I don't know what it stands for, but it seems to work. I should have resized it though :roll:

trey,
with the sun over your shoulder, how does that road sign do for reflective light back to your eyes?

Think of the fantastic tan Trey will get from the dash panels. Also, his futures so bright, he'll have to wear shades! 8)

My dash is painted, and shiney. No problems in the day, but going thru tunnels puts thousands of "fireflies" racing all over the place! 8)

Don't know, I've never driven it! I'd say the brushed finish is similar to an 850's dash.
