*Gauging interest in new mod......
Hello everyone. I am about to change out the interior of my car. I have a 1994 Z28, and I am swapping in the interior of a 97 Z28. I think the newer style interior looks alot smoother and nicer. Anyways, While I have been gathering peices to do my conversion, I have looked EVERYWHERE for a website with information where someone else has done this before, and I couldn't find ANYTHING. Now, I was thinking I could write up a page, take alot of pics, and host them somewhere for everyone to view, as I am sure there would be alot of people interested in this. What do you think?

I'll definitly do it. 
I have read a few posts with people asking questions about this (mostly 3rd gen people) so I think at least ONE person would find it useful. I know I would sure appreciate it if I could find a page like that. :P By the way, did they delete all the old posts with the new board style? I can't find anything when I search anymore....

I think it is a great idea! One question that gets asked often but I don't recall seeing an answer is if you can take a 97 instrument cluster and plug it into a 94 to 96 wiring harness. I seem to recall that you CAN but I can't remember if that was a dream or somebody actually did it. LOL!
Either way, if you'd like to do the write-up and take pictures and stuff I'd be happy to host the info on my site and, of course, stick up a link for you!

Hey guys. Thanks for all the replys. I am positive that it is possible, no question about that. Anything can be done when hot rodding. I saw a C4 interior in an old shoebox in a Super Chevy mag once! The hard part I believe, will come down to seeing if the gauge cluster will work, and if not, trying to get all the wiring done right. I just purchased my dash today, along with the big top piece (w/the defrost vent) and the a/c vents, and the radio bezel piece. Now I have to wait 2 more weeks so I can purchase the gauge cluster from speedautomotive. I purchased EVERYTHING on ebay. If anyone else is interested, SpeedAutomotive is selling a dash, along with a new set of airbags and the a/c vents and radio bezel now. Search for "Camaro dash" and you will see it. 
Anyways, I got away cheap nso far, $180 for everythign I have. I'm going to look into pulling out my dash tomorrow, so things will go more quickly and smoothly (hopefully!!) when I am ready to change it all out. You guys have inspired me to definitly take ALOT of pics and write some things up on it!! Wish me luck. I think I am going waste a full tank of gas running to the hardware store for screws and misc. things when its all said and done.

That's what has kept me from buying the 200mph gauges for the 96-97 birds. I don't kow that the wiring would let everything work......I know dimensionally they are a little different....but that could be fixed. If the wiring is right and everything works let us know, that would be some very valuable info.
