StylishOne Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Interested to know the best way to restore them since they are so thin..(I'm not talking about '66) Anyone do it themselves or send it out for a successful result. Enclosed pic how it should look off a low mileage original car. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Mereness Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Just depends on how bad they are, but you probably need to be super careful as I bet the veneer is not thick. Also, they are probably held down with some sort of contact cement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edinmass Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Best way is to take it to an antique musical instrument restorer........they can easily fix it, and for less than you would expect. You will need to remove the door panel, and probably the wood insert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

41Fleetwood Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I did mine on my 64 Eldorado the veneer was is good shape just sun faded. I removed the door panel and then removed the plate that the veneer is attached to. Use some Formbys to remove the varnish lightly sanded and applied some new stain , then clear coat.

Here is the car I am sure I have some before and after but it has been about 8 years ago and I will have to do some searching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
