wooden arm rests
Any woodworkers out there ever thought about carving their armrests out of wood?

Re: wooden arm rests
My brother did just that for his 67. He also did a jataba (sp) radio plate, and filled all foe wood grain with real. Had a VERY nice "console" that went from under dash to hump. The truck's LONG gone, but I imagine that he's got some pics of it all. I'll ask next time I see him.
Man can't gap a spark plug, but whoa what he can do with wood.

Re: wooden arm rests
Here's a few pictures I saved from an E-bay listing several years ago. The owner of this truck must have been a woodworker.

Re: wooden arm rests
I'v been having that thought but would mold (glue,sand) them into wood door pannels. Thought I saw someone that did that on here
