Anybody got an input on "CLOUDY" wood in these cars? I THINK that they are done like the Rolls, hardwood with a Veneer then LOTS of clear lacquer on that.
If I am correct then 2000 paper and water SHOULD cut the clouds away then respray.
This 50th is turning into a show restoration instead of a stump puller

 

I think you are correct on the veneer highly laq'd.

 

Yup, lots and lots of clear coat.
I dont know if it can be polished out or not.
Keep us posted on what works best.

 

Mr. George,

You might enjoy Amazon.com: Land Rover: A Tough Fifty Years (Osprey Automotive) (9781855326415): Chris Bennett, Nick Dimbleby: Books which is a coffee table book covering the first 50 years, factory production line photos, all over the world Rovers, etc. Shows why 50 was a big year for them....

 

On order, wife got it for me for daddy's day.
Going to check with Constantines Wood Center - Woodworking Supplies and Tools - 1-800-443-9667
This is who my dad used back in the 1960's for anything wood. They will have the special stuff to do the job the correct way I HOPE!
Me I would just grad the 2000, water and have at it.

 

Would you believe WHITE TOOTHPASTE not the GEL. Soft cloth and polish then RE-WAX the finish. Have a spare piece from the parts Rover will give it a go Saturday and see what happens.
PS Fans get here so MJ Should be on the road by Sunday.
