Please HELP!! Where can I get this????

Post by carcrafter22 »

I have been looking all over the internet at differnt bumps to get an idea of different paint jobs and stumbled over something I have to have.

I just need to know where to get it since I have never seen this before in my life. The part in question is the aluminum piece that is surroundin the knobs dash switches below the aluminum instrument bezel.

I really think this makes the interior pop and would love to have it on my bump, any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks
Randy

Is it the bezel that has wood trim in it, just without the woodgrain trim.

Thats a good question but a more up close shot makes it look like aluminum like the dash bezel.

Here ya go, it sure looks like brushed aluminum like the dash bezel. I may be wrong though.

It does look nice. I am going to use the old trim and try and make something nice out of it. It's always a work in progress.

Good luck

I would imagine this is a stamped piece. The stock piece you talk of where would I get something like that. I know a guy that can powder coat steel to make it look like aluminum, or maybe even just polish iit then powder coat it clear. hmmm....

I am buying some off of either a member or ebay. Depends on who comes up with a better price and product.

Not sure if 69 had them but know that 70-72 Ranger XLT's did.
Just strip the wood tape and buff it up..

Darn you 1971Ford!! :D just kidding I thought it looked killer also, gives it sort of a cockpit look that I like.

Thanks convincor you're the man. :thup:

Does anyone sell this trim piece new and is it alumnium or steel, maybe stainless??? I will take a guess and say aluminum.

The polished ones are just stripped...

I used some spray on Easy Strip on mine...
It takes the wood grain paint right off.
After having the paint on them protecting them they come out really nice...
They come up on ebay from time to time...
I don't know of anyone that as them after market...
Good luck...
