Well the woodgrain inserts I have were in poor shape so I decided to try the newer 3M DI-NOC vinyl woodgrains to see how close a match I could get.
Here is the '77 insert with (top to bottom) cherry teak wood, walnut wood, and marine teak wood:
And here's the door panels and dash insert all done in the marine teak. Its a really, really close match to the 73-74 woodgrain that GM used.

WOW! I have never seen that product before. Mind if I ask what the cost was and where you purchased it? I looked into having my original woodgrain panels hydrodipped and it was more than I wanted to spend ($350). Is the 3m stuff any cheaper than that?
Nevermind, I found it on Amazon.
