Wood accents for 85 El

Aloha all,

Does anyone know of a company that makes or offers a wood (actually plastic) wood accent kit for the El Camino? All of my vehicles that I have purchased I put in the kit but I can't find one for my 85 El.

Thanks to all that reply.

Make your own....I did, you can check it out in my gallery link below.
Use some of that monkey pod or Koa wood that you have over there.
I lived in Hawaii for 31 years and did alot of wood work with that hardwood.
Aloha,
Mike

WOW! Elky! That is really nice! I will definetly look into doing that now that I have seen yours. It's probably a lot cheaper than some kits I have just found on the internet. Anything from $200 and up, not including shipping. I can also match my new/pending steering wheel to the wood dash as well. How thick is the wood that you used and how did you adhere it to all the places in you El?

Thanks again.

Thanks for the link. I checked these guys out already, kinda pricey when you factor in the shipping cost to Hawaii. Almost $225.00 for the kit withi shipping. Sad
