Re: funky wood trim

Todd,
Yes it is removable.
It is actually two pieces.
The center strip is glued to the outer strip.
The outer strip is pinned to the dash.
You can take a thin flatblade screwdriver and gently pop the center strip
off/out.
You can then sand it down with 400+ sandpaper and
1. sand again with 800/1000 grit and re-glue back on.
2. paint it and glue it back on

I did #1 above a crack free Mk1 non-S dash I recently installed in my 81 S
and it turned out very nice
