Would a Dodge Viper dash fit?

another post inspired me....
If i was able to get one, how hard would it be to get it to fit a thirdgen camaro?

I've got a friend who is very good with working with fiberglass and if like the ebrake hole and the shifter hole or whatever needed to be moved, he would be able to do it. I love the dash....how much major work would i need to do?

what about that Viper kit for a 3rd gen that was on here a few weeks ago? That had a viper dash. I don't know whjether it was an actual viper dash or a replica, but it must fit. Maybe you could buy just the dash from them...

The C5 dash is a good bit too narrow.

Yeah its not a real Viper dash. Its a kit car dash that looks like a Viper dash. Vipers and 3rd gens have very different measurements, I would think a real Viper dash wouldnt fit without major modifications. And then there would be the whole issue of getting the guage cluster to work....
