68 Shelby woodgrain

What is the correct woodgrain type for the door pull end caps.  What is on the car and other unmolested car looks different from all the other interior woodgrain?

Reminds me of the Cougar burlwood.

It is the same part used by Cougar XR-7s

Nice NOS piece. Reproduction parts don't look like originals at all..

You are correct on both accounts.Check with Chris at Legendary in Canada to see if he is still selling the great repros.

I beg to differ the excellent repros that I got from Chris did look the same burl.Typical repros look the same wood grain as the dash.

A little off topic question:  A while back (Years ago), there was a Company that reproduced all the interior Woodgrain Decals for the 68 Shelby's in different shades.  They even did it in "Blackwood" like what was used on the sides of the Lincoln Blackwood Pick Up Beds.  Is anyone still making those?

Recently purchased full set of woodgrain decals from Mr. Gs Enterprises in Forth Worth. Decals had thickness, texture and color which closely matched my original dash trim pieces. I bought to have should I decide to add AC. No color options unlike my 69 Mach One teak?  In fact, I like the presentation of the decals much better than the restored piece.

West Coast Classic Cougar offers door pull repro decals in burlwood decals which also appear to be good quality.

There is only one color in 1968 walnut

These decals?

Not even close to oem pieces. The originals have silver and black frames

[ridgeter]

Yes, these are the decals which fit within/inside my existing chrome and black frames.

Hold on. 1967 and 1968 XR7 door pull end caps, are different between the years.

Chris is retired but can be found on Facebook and he posts on cars he is restoring at home. "Chris Simon". I talk to Chris from time to time and talked to him on the phone about a month ago.
