I have tried heat and scraping, and it worked a little but that good. Sanding it just gooped up the sand paper.

I come to you as a man who is on the fence with his wagon. The question is, To Keep or Not to Keep? I purchased my '66 Squire back in May of 2010. It was, what you might call, a "shed find". The old gentleman was the second owner. It had spent its whole life in Tennessee. It was ordered with a whole list of options that included the following: 428 4V, Automatic, Power steering, Kelsey Hayes four-piston power disc brakes, limited slip rear end, AC,...

Woodgrain dilemmas 1966 Country Squire]]> 8 Thu, 27 Apr 2023 02:54:45 +0000 http://www.stationwagonforums.com/forums/threads/woodgrain-touch-up.59546/ http://www.stationwagonforums.com/forums/threads/woodgrain-touch-up.59546/ invalid@example.com (GPG) GPG I have a 1970 Country Squire that is a totally original 37,000 mile car.
It does have a few places where the woodgrain has some door nicks. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fill/repair these? They are all very small but the white paint shows underneath so it is noticeable.
I was wondering if anybody ever tried furniture repair sticks or paint?
The car is always garaged and covered and won’t be out in the rain if I can help it.

Since I’m a wagon rookie I don’t really know how these trims work, or if all 1960’s FoMoCo trims are the same, etc.

Well, in these pictures one can see part of my trim and woodgrain. The trim has before me been fully coated with paint – also the buttons, and the woodgrain is in really bad condition and has to be replaced. So, I’d like to repaint the trim and get new woodgrain vinyl. But, how to do so in a good way?

First, these buttons holding the trim … As I understand these buttons...

Do all the door handles need to be removed ? Appears that this is required based upon looking at the fit of the faux wood surround. Just checking before I make any final decision.

As some of you may remember, I had purchased a long roll of nos dinoc off eBay years ago. It was what was used on 1970 Chevy Kingswood Estate wagons. At some point I had it digitally scanned into a file. I still owned a 1990 Colony Park at the time and wanted the ability to print new woodgrain if I ever had to ‘re-wood’ it. Well I sold the Colony Park but wanted to see if the file could be used to make good-looking reproduction woodgrain. I contacted the guy at woodgrain4wagons...

I plan to have a graphics company scan the usable portion of the roll into a high-resolution file. If I ever need to replace the wood grain on my CP, I will then use the file as the basis for making new wood grain car wrap.

No more trolling for an existing wood grain replacement that just won't do the trick.]]> 10
