On the switch panel I think it looks ok - I've done the same. Having done the dash & glove box I'm not so sure so I may be switching back to covering those in vinyl which is a better compromise than veneer which I don't like either.

Looks ok to me. Its personal choice most of us dont have original cars like most of the classic car comunity.

[adam quantrill]

I don't like it, sorry!

I quite like the wood veneer - the other thing I have done in kit car builds is to use smooth faced ply (it used to be called 'exterior grade').

It has a veneer of hard wood on the outside, and can sand and varnish that.
It gives a much more subtle effect than the walnut, more like a table top. Looks good if you're into that kind of thing, but a lot of sanding and recutting of holes....

Black vinyl is good as well.

Looks good to me too Marcus, but you saw the Griff at Fastlane so you know I'm partial to a bit of cf

Hey Campbell - how you doing? I hear your Pa is on the forums a bit now - you'll have to watch your Ps and Qs

Here is what I fitted using stainless steel. The dash is now bullet proof and tougher than ever before. My car being black inside and out I didn't want to fit another wood veneer as I think stainless steel gives it a good contrast. However, it's not to everyone's taste.
