Anyone ever change a dash out ?
Morning campers,
Ok, my pet project (93Z28) is finally back in my gareage. I updated to '02 body panels, hood, lights, etc, so she looks like a 02 SS. I have the interior gutted, sans the dash, and have the 6-point and all the tin installed.
I got a new dash (complete w/ frame and duct work) Now looking for anyone that may have done this swap....93 to 98-02 model. PSJ and I think that it should be pretty straight forward....but alas, these things never are, right.
Anyone ever done this ? Any ideas ? I have the worst feeling that a 6 hour job might turn into a 3 week adventure
Thanks,
Kev

Sorry, I just don't wanna tear it apart and then go, " WTF??"

don't think the wiring harness will match up with the new controls.
Just changing the dashes out is no big deal, but getting everything to work is another job.
We've placed an 01 dash into our 1988 Z, but we are running the 01 harness and motor.
