Many years ago before AMark made his reproductions I investigated making my own. AMC wood grain is unique. I bought an NOS auto console cover the largest piece of AMC wood grain available. A local company that makes wraps for city buses has a very large printer for vinal. They had a very high end scanner. They scanned the console and photo shopped that scan together and printed 3' sections for me on 3M vinal. It would have been enough for a complete interior. The set up / scan was $100.00. The vinal was $50.00 but it was the end of that roll. They only had had thick vinal used for the buses. I was going to have more printed but they ran out of the thin vinal. I needed to purchase a roll at $500.00. I had over 2 year of investigation into this project and then AMark came out with his perfect reproductions. I sold the wood grain and bought a complete interior from AMark. Best $1200 I ever spent.

I avoided all the issues of repops and the cost of restoring to the original wood grain dash in the White70. I removed the wood grain with some elbow grease and replaced it with a 3M product called Dinoc. The car has received many admiring comments about the dash. I know it's not factory, I'm not interested in going to an AMO show trying to win top dog award, I like to drive the car and go to cruise ins mostly. |
