3rd gen custom door panel
Hi there. New to this site, but have been creeping it. I have been doing some custom work on my 91 formula and this is what I come up with using parts from a 09 g6 and a 4th gen firebird for door panels so far. Whacha think?

Re: 3rd gen custom door panel
Top left corner looks like there will be a big gap? Is there a plan to cover that? Otherwise it looks promising.

Re: 3rd gen custom door panel
I'm going to be using some new weather stripping for the top left. I test fitted with the chunk from the old weather stripping trimmed down a little , it seemed to fill it. Other than that I am debating whether or not to wrap the door card in black carbon fiber vinyl or wrap it in leather

Re: 3rd gen custom door panel
Nice idea. I also wanted to do a dash swap with a 4th gen dash, but after the work I put into my cars dash, switching it to led and fixing some wiring issues it had, I think I would rather keep it.
I have also been looking into ideas for a custom center console

Re: 3rd gen custom door panel
I think the firebirds lend themselves to making from scratch a center console more easily than the Camaros. If you did a 4th gen dash I would just keep the 4th gen center console. I tried making my own center console but found that the only way to do it would be to weld a skeleton or frame out of metal and then attach panels to it.

Re: 3rd gen custom door panel
I have some new door panels as well that go to..(from what I heard..an 88 Camaro Sport Coupe)..and I wanted to install them in my Iroc Z. problem is, they have a cut out for adjustable manual windows, and mine are automatic. will they be able to work or not?

Way too many rounded corners, matches nothing in a boxy third gen interior.
