74 TVR 2500M: Wood dash just arrived!

[Renaldo]

Guys, just thought I'd post some pictures of my walnut burl dashboard.

The pictures don't do it justice.

That's gorgeous. Is it the one John Wadman did for you?

What wood species is it?

Best,
Bernard

[Renaldo]

Bernard, yes, it's John Wadman's work. Unsure of the substrate, but it's a thing of beauty.

All I know is he used a walnut burl laminate.

Hello Renaldo
Just wondered if you have installed your walnut dash yet?
Matt

[Renaldo]

Matt, you're clearly more on the ball than I am.

I haven't installed it yet, but now that you've reminded me, I'll probably take it on as my next little project.

I'm a little nervous about all the labelling required for the wiring, but sometimes I guess you just have to jump in.

And it is a gorgeous piece...

Ron

Ron, can you post a link for more info on this? I would love to have the same piece.

Thank you!

Vic, if it's of any help, John Wadman of TVR North America, located in Toronto, made up this dash for me. Paid $525 Canadian for it.

He doesn't have a website, but his phone number is 416-752-7226.

He's a TVR expert, a craftsman, and a real gentleman too.

By the way, I'm having my mechanic install the dash and it's almost done.

I'll post some pictures within a day or two...
