hey guys , i finally got around changing out my door lacthes, this weekend,was to cold to finish prepping for paint, i wasnt happy with the way i had it, so put the 4th gens in, and to be honest it wasn't very hard , if anyone is doing door panel swaps, here is a picture i took, might help you out

 

nice pic.. anything w/ the door panel installed?

 

i have some on my site, when i had them installed, pulled them off becuaes the lactches were bugging me, , after i get the motor in and car painted i will start back on my interior, bascially its done, just a few things i want to change that are driving me nuts, one being my gauge cluster and i need a stick console top, i tried to make a automatic work, im not happy with the results, but i might go with a b and m hammer shifter anyhow, so that consol top might work after all, and im pulling the yellow roll bar padding off, just going with black, it stands out to much , its been raining here all week, which is slowing my painting process down, if at all possible i want to make trans am nations this year ,

 

nice work, i'd really like to know how you got the pannels to fit. any pictures where the door meets the jamb?

very nice all the same.

 

Wow FIREBIRD7777 I didnt know that was your car. Saw the pics alot but didnt know the owner. I think you're one of the first few people to do this mod. I think you did a great job!! :hail:

 

Let me get this right, that is your car right FIREBIRD7777 and you said thats a auto console u got in it. It looks like a stick one to me though. Well if it is a auto one, it did work but was hard mods to do it. What do u mean by that. Also it looks great very profetional. What color u plan on going with?

 

thanks for the good remarks, i remember i got flamed bad when i did this swap from a few hardcore 3rd gen's,

as far as the console what i meant was i used a 3rd gen stick console bag, and attacted it to a 4th gen auto, after i cut it to fit, the outcome was a terrible looking console , thats why its driving me nuts, anyhow here are a few new pics, \

this is how the car sits now, as you can see i have alot of work to do yet

picture of the inside, its a mess, i have alot of cleaning to do, later on

 

after i complete the car, and i blow up my 383 one day, im planning on dropping in this

pointiac 455 , , adding twin turbo, along with supercharger and 150 nos, hummm, well i did say one day

 

hey FIREBIRD7777 nice car man. can people get in the back of your car with that roll bar?! haha it looks tight...nice job. i hope to do an entire swap liek you somtime this summer.

 

well with a conventianal roll bar i say yes, but mine is alittle of a custom design, and people can still get in the back, just if your clostorphobic , you will have a problem

 

Ok, FIREBIRD7777, that is the HOTTEST interior I have EVER SEEN in a 3rd gen in my entire stinking LIFE... I worship it... I praise it... I love it... I need it! SO STINKIN' NICE!!! :hail: :hail: :hail: Any pics of the install? Do you have a homepage? Good golly man I gotta see more!!! :hail: :hail: :hail:

 

thanks , it was alot of hard work, and i still have alot more work to do , , at the time i did the swap, i had only seen one person that had done the swap which is the guy overseas that installed 4thgen interior in a convertble camaro, once i saw that , and i got a good deal on the interior out of a firehawk, i had to try it, its not show material, but im happy with it . i did the swap but stopped at the heater, and gauge parts, since then a year has passed or so, and guys on this board have taking the swap to another lvl, they have actually gotten the 4th gen gauges up and running, and the heater box, crammed in , personal im going with a electric heater for variours reasons, mainly my car will be a summer car, , but for the 4th gen gagues, i still have to start tracing the wires, and tackle that mess, anyhow here is my site, its a year old, but there are some pictures on there that might help anyone doing the swap,

here is a picture of my gauge install, i tried to make the 3rd gen work in the 4th gen cluster, the result is a terrible looking cluster, so i think im going with digital gauges, or with 4th gen,s
