Re: IML: '66 Imperial Convertible Claro Walnut replacement/refinishing

[Bob Zubkowski <bzubkow@xxxxxxx>]

I re did my varnish on the walnut by : 1. Using XXXX steel wool to lightly 
remove all the old varnish. I did this with out removing the parts from the 
dash or doors. 2. Then I used a UV safe varnish and put on two coats. Be 
careful not to let any drip on the chrome. It looks like new.

I certainly could use some to redo my '66 convertible!  Doors are pretty
sad, and exposed dash pieces are rough.

What would you require to send me enough to redo the interior Walnut?

Thanks for the offer!

Subject: Re: IML: 67 Crown Door Handle Inserts

sSince the subject of wood-refinishing has come up, I thought I would offer
my expertise and professional knowledge to anyone in the club who needs to
re-do interior wood. I am a custom wood-worker by profession, and I have
also re-veneered the wood in both my 1966 and 1967 Imperials. This was done
with some of an enormous quantity of walnut-veneer sheets that I inherited
somehow, and most of which is still taking up space in my shop. Anyone who
wants enough of this stuff to re-do a '65,'66, or'67 interior is welcome to
as much as he/she would need to do the job. I don't need to make any money
on it since it didn't cost me anything, and I've seen enough rough-looking
wood in Imperials to want to see them properly done. It really isn't a very
difficuld project either-all one needs to do is carefully remove the metal
backing-pieces from the car, scrape off the old cracked and dried-up
veneer,and use contact-cement to apply the new wood . Then use a razor-knife
to trim the new veneer to the shape of the metal backing-piece. Heck, I even
replaced the genuine plastic stuff in my 1969 LeBaron with real walnut!
E-mail me off-list for whatever walnut you need.
