4th Gen Dash

I dunno whut magazine I saw it in, but the car was a camaro, originaly no t-tops, then t-tops were put in from a donor, then went all the way to convertable. But the coolest thing was it had a dash from a 4th gen camaro. Does anyone know more about this car or at least how hard it would be to do.

I obviously wouldn't be the first to do it, but I thought it would be way cool, and for the most part unlike anyone else's.

There was a post with a bunch of kicka** pictures from a convertable 3rd gen Camaro w/ a 4th gen interior a while back. I can't remember if it was on Thirdgen.org, or Camaroz28.com. If I find the post, I will post the pics here.

Here is a link to that post. I plan on doing the swap, but I dont exactly know when. I need to get another car to drive during the swap. The guy that did the swap (the first pictures) told me he was working on a site with more details about the swap.

it's the last one. If the picture doesn't work I can email it to you.

I don't know how I got it to scan that good. I did it in the computer lab with the lady right behind me and I told her that I was going to put it on the internet and we changed the resolution.

The issue was July 1999.

Later,
