Thanks for the info Waterhouse, I thought it was odd-looking But it had the original on it. Cool thinking 34 good old Elm Burl.

Thanks, I just did this dash odd to me woodgrain anyway

Is a Waterberry Spelling? 32 a custom body?

Find someone local with a Fiber laser, It should be a fun project.
I have been doing some engraving on copper and all other metals lately.
They can produce great details.
I just did a parrot. lol

That does look close to what I have seen here. On a Dodge we have also had that look. I found you can mix the colors easy just shake them up real good. I really want to try and mix different lengths of fiber also. This site has some custom colors.aerooutdoors.com/products/flocking/buy_bulk.shtml
I'm using their glue and it works nice. I hope to see some more photos. I think I'm going to have to order the longer fibers from the UK.
Thanks for the photos Jdee

I found a piece of a Packard Dash, Going to use it to put a photo in for the shop wall. I hate to toss it out. I got it for the little knob and switch that was in it at Hershey years ago.

Anyone know what were the most used flocking colors in the 30s and 40s /50s or have any photos of original Flock?
I have got quite a few Restorations in over the past 16 years that had the back side of the glove box doors flocked.
Most looked dirty tan or grey. I wish I had kept track of what cars they were. Since the parts were so old it was hard to really tell a color for sure.
I guess Varnish was used for the glue and probably Natural Fibers were used for the flocking.
Hog or Goats hairs. Any photos would be a great help.
I posted this on AACA forums also, It seems there is not to much info on this around.
Thanks for any Help Jdee

PS: I'm working on mixing modern fibers to look like the old stuff....

The base-coat should not be transparent. You should call for a replacement. I have been using Spraymax Clear with the adjustable cap this year and it works great

Highlander160 Great looking work as always

We can match about any pattern.
Using original art or by parts we pick up along the way. Some of the best info for patterns and colors comes from forums like this.

A few pics, Just messing around this morning.
I think you can see how I can get patterns from old parts as well by replicating the areas I can see by using special software to fill in the blanks.
