I don't see a problem with getting the wood vinyl you would need.
Today there are places in every town that do custom vinyl applications for
any kind of vehicle decoration. Any size, and shape.

I like your style Saul. Not everyone is in to this model, and I am not a
huge fan, but I appreciate them. As for the Woodie's, we had a 1971 Olds
Custom Cruiser that was the medium metallic green with the wood vinyl. It was
the 'look' back then.
There are people painting real flames that look really cool, and even
though it would probably be expensive, I would think paint would hold up
better
if you could find someone that specialized in it. You would really be
taking a leap if it was real veneer.

My Sprint has some parts from a junkyard 73 Sprint that had the woodgrain
