So I pick up this 4th gen door panel on e-bay for 10 bux

sounds like I know, but no lie, and this thing is in cherry condition, just got it today. Anyway, enough gloating (10 bucks, can you believe that shiyet, had the window and door lock controls.. all that good stuff, I think it was actually new ) . Those of you who have done the door mod, did you change the door handle completely or somehow modify your existing ?

 

there a way to do the door panel..PM zepher cause i know he tried and it did one of the panels, but the best way for it to work is put a 4th gen dash in. Also you need new mounting locations for thise panels.

 

It is my intent to pick up a 4th gen dash as well, just need time and money..

 

How does having a 4th gen dash effect the placement of the door handle ?

 

the reason you need a new handle mount is that there aren't holes in the right places to hold to the door, plus the rod it would grab in a to unlock a 4th gen is in a diff spot so you'll have to fab up a rod grabber to open the door (no gay joke intended lol)

also, the reason zepher could do the door is that the camaro door doesn't have a little hill at the end by the engine ... the firebird one hits the 3rd gen dashpad at the edge =/

hope i helped u

 

yeah w/o the dash the door wont close properly because it will bang the dash. if you plan to do the dash anyway, just cut the dash!!
