Was this an option? Never seen one before. I just bought one basically for the pcb. Didn't see it on any of the accessory codes on bros site. Maybe it's one of the missing codes?

Woodgrain dash was not a factory option on the A-body Olds in 1965. I'm not even sure where the woodgrain could go on this dash.

Since the numbers are on the plastic lens, it's easy to disassemble the instrument cluster and use contact paper. Not factory. Vista Cruisers didn't even get woodgrain on the outside until the 1967 model year.

Thanks for the info.

I got the cluster over the weekend, and it's definitely contact paper. Pretty thick quality stuff, actually.
PCB is good, continuity on all traces, although some of the traces are slightly lifting off the board. I'm gonna glue them down and possibly lacquer over them after I do.
Unless anyone has a better solution?
I've been checking out making pcb boards from copper clad board, but then again with my hobbies already, the car and my "honey to do" list....the last thing I need is some other project hobby haha
The GTO dash is nice, but ide probably opt for fully custom.
