Re: Palf's 1981 GMC

Just been tinkering and driving it around between all our storms. Yesterday I decided to clean up the center seat console. The 30+ years was making the wood a bit tattered.. So out she came and disassembled it. I am still surprised how good the material is since the seat was put in (around 1987...according to the stickers on the seats). I did make one change and turn the 3 slots into one large opening. It seemed more useful than the slots.

I took some 80 grit paper and cut off all the old sealant and crappy looking stuff. I then did everything with 180. I am not a very good person with wood, so I have no idea if that is the correct grit for this stuff, but it is what I had. I then rubbed on some stain sealer that I had lying around. It even matched real. Today I reassembled everything.
