Measurement of the dash and instrument panel wood

[Bmachine]

Hello.

I do not have access to my car right and I need a measurement because I am buying some veneer to refinish the wood. I have the measurements for the width but I was wondering if someone could measure the maximum height of the wood part of the dashboard. I believe the highest would be the section where the instruments are.

Thank you.

Around 5 1/2” near instruments, 5” above dash shelf, but wood does wrap over the edges a bit near the cluster.

Perfect! That's what I was looking for. Thanks Chris!

i found that if you are doing the entire dash, buy more / bigger than you think you need. i ended up buying 2 consecutive veneer pieces that were 8" x 90" cost me $20 or so. i like the wider section because you can then select the strip that you want to use to avoid sections of the veneer that you don't like as much. then you have veneer to run down the door pieces ... i made mine flow in a linear manner from the dash down the doors.
