87 gauge layout to a 90 or so????

Is it possible to change from the stock 87 camaro gauge layout to the newer sleeker ones located in the hmm Id say early 90s camaros??? They look more like the gauges blend together then sit separate.

Its not that hard to do, everything is a straight swap. Most difficult part is the steering wheel getting in the way.

I think because the panels are all different, from the knee pads, up, you have to replace everything. Take me about 6 hours or less to do the swap...Of course I have done it beofore.

on firebirds though.

I could tell you how to do it on a firebird by memory, buuuttt, you have a camaro.
