I haven;t done it myself but I believe the largest problem with the GFX is the bolts holes are different and will need to be added/filled accordingly.

Also the front end should be asimple swap with a few bolts off and put the new one on and bolt it up again.

Here are some shots of the body with the holes for the door molding filled in,







The rocker panel pretty much bolted up to the stock holes under the door. The front and rear of the rocker panels aren't bolted up, if you notice the holes next to fender vent, the 91-92 gfx uses holes that are lower for the bracket. Those need to be filled as well if you have 85-90 graound effects.

The door molding needs 3 holes/door drilled and then the old 3 holes filled.

Here is a shot of the gfx bolted on before we filled in the holes on the door.
you can see one hole in the door,



This is how the car sits now,

Should be easy. Just tape the rocker on the car and drill all the holes. Door isn't too hard either.

Hardest thing for me was finding the door pieces. Took me 6 months to find a used set. GM wants $120/molding, $40/bracket.
I got my door pieces for $120, and that included the brackets.

I got my rocker panels for $35.

Yep, drill the holes and bolt them on. you can use silicone over the nuts to seal it.
I have AIM but I don't get on much.
