Do all 340 Dusters with rally dash have the woodgrain on the cluster?
My car does not. However the dash bezel may have been rechromed and the woodgrain taken off.
I don't know whether this is correct or not
 
DMT has the decal mounted on a .020 aluminum I'll assume it's easier to lay it in then a wet noodle decal

Wood grain, black or carbon fiber

I find his eBay site easier to navigate then his regular website, If I click on the appropriate buttons on his .com for 70 duster it only shows 3 items but his catalog shows tons of stuff
 
You can just call Jim at DMT 586-777-7167. Just an FYI the factory woodgrain insert is also backed by thin aluminum w/woodgrain overlay. It appears to be secured by couple dabs of possibly contact cement.
 
Jim at DMT is great. I worked with him quite a bit when I was putting together the rallye dash conversion for my Duster. I wanted to have an overlay for the lower part of the gauges too, not just the uppers. He didn't have any bezels to use for a guide, so I shipped him some. Now he has the lower overlays for all the different rallye bezels too. Makes restoring a bezel MUCH easier, and with new ones costing over $500 and having one rechromed costing almost as much it's nice to be able to spruce one up yourself.

Here's some pictures of my dash. Mine has some modifications because I converted my '74 dash over to accept a rally dash. And it has carbon upper and lower overlays as my car is going more for a "pro-touring" vibe, no need to be stock with a '74 Duster wearing '71 Demon bodywork and sporting a converted rallye dash frame.

This is what I started with. It's ugly, but rallye dash bezels with cut or broken sections sell for cheap, so I collected a bunch of them. No point paying for a super nice one if the goal is to modify it.

This shows the big modification I did, fixing the radio cut out on my broken bezel by using a glove box piece and shortening the bezel in the process...

Painted, polished, and the lettering re-done with a silver paint pen

Finished product! Showing off my lower carbon overlay, Jim made that one special at my request as a thank you for providing the bezels to make a pattern off of. :D :thumbup: I have more pictures and a description of what I did on page 2 of my build thread, linked in my signature.
