Omg that looks freakin sexy! I found a '97 camaro in a yard that had v6 in it and thinkin about taken the dash, cluster, and wiring, hvac vents and all that good stuff. got one question for the time being and thats how easy is the wiring for the gauges and dash lights an all that good stuff? ive been reading that the lighting switch is a pain but i can figure that one out but im jus more concerned about the gauges

i need to bring down the dash a bit more on the dirver side. my dash pad rattles a bit because it doesnt stay in place corectly. toher than that it doesn shake much . compared to my old dash which rattled too much on the freeway

My 4thgen dash has barely any rattles. Only because I mounted on 4 separate locations underneath not including the steering column mount. I used bendable metal strapping and formed several support braces.

I dont want to get of topic or sound like a broken record, but i was reading about dash swap, read alot. But i'm lookin at buying a 96 i think is the year. wrecked, but has the lt1. If i do the dash and motor, trans swap do i still have to splice wires to wire it up to my 85 coupe. I thought that splicing the firewall plug was for motor swaps or just dash. Or can someone lead me to a better descrtion if im doing both. I planned on using the steering column and all. I mean practically stick the 4th in my third gen. Does that make sense to anyone....

this is looking great. Good Job. have you figured the hvac controller yet??

did you reuse your 3rd gen fuse box or did you rewired everything to the 4th one that goes on the side of the dash?

BTW i really like your car, it looks like the camaro version of my trans am, haha beautiful color, what color is it if you dont mind me asking?

how did you go about mounting the lower bracket? the long metal bracket the goes from one side to the other?

For the driver's side, I just mounted the 4th gen style bracket to the steering column, and on passenger side I made a bracket. Both sides of the 4th gen support brace that goes across there are a couple tabs that you need to grind off, nothing to complicated.

I still have yet to get pics of my HVAC setup. You can use EVERYTHING on the 3rd gen end of the vacuum hoses, including the 3rd gen main power connector with no splicing of that. To attach the lines, I used small vacuum hose that would slide right over the stock vacuum lines for both the 4th gen and 3rd gen hoses. Use zip ties to act as clamps. Worked perfectly fine for me.

yea i know all that i was just wondering if someone one here came out with a really nice way to mount it or if it was a make your our bracket type of deal.
