I did a full 3/4" mahogany dash in mine and put the ignition switch on the dash. I cut the ignition off of my column along with the lock in order to push the stearing column farther forward. I did not have any problems getting mine registered. Take a look in my picutres. If you use a solid wood I would suggest a wood with a finer grain, they don't tend to warp or crack as much. Also I stained the front and back but only sealed the front. This allows the wood to still breath without warping or cracking. You can also use any veneere wood of your choice and seale it with no problems. I use to build furniture for a living so the wood dash was a must for me, plus I like the rich look of it. Am going to be experminting with a curved wood dash with some aluminum mixed in to see what it looks like in the near future.
