I want to redo the woodgrain on the console and the dash. I have rally gauges with 3 hole switch panel. Where can I get the best quality closest to original reproduction either decal overlays or entire replacements?

For the console, door panel inserts or any other gaskets, then the Detroit Muscle Technologies products are the top choice.

DMT also makes a high quality vinyl overlay for the rallye dash woodgrain if budget is a concern.

Otherwise, Performance Car Graphics in FL makes the best reproduction of the metal bezel with authentic woodgrain silk screened onto it.

Does his come flat or pre-bent?

The original 1970 woodgrain on the dash and switch bezel is textured or bumpy. I have never seen any correct reproductions out there. At sometime in the '71 model year they went to the flat or silk screened woodgrain.

The Performance Car Graphics ones are pre-bent and available in both woodgrain styles (1970 through mid-1971, and post mid-'71)

Very nice parts for the money

Absolutely agree. I got my 70 Challenger's repop woodgrain metal bezels
from PCG & they were spot on. Fit was perfect & if you check out their
website, their tech articles show they know their stuff. I've always got all my decal kits from them & have been a happy customer. DMT has great gasket kits.

Performance Car Graphics reproduction rallye woodgrain is by far the best hands down.
70, 71 & 72 up, pre shaped, backing plates, 3 switch, 4 switch.
Dave also restores the clusters & does a great job.
