Default Fitting a hatch in a Camaro?

Hey guys. Looking for a little imput. I'm gonna be helping my friend out by picking up a hatch for him. My question is, is if I can fit the hatch ( at an angle) into the camaro. I dont really need my hatch to close. Rope can be used to keep it shut. Any tips or opinions are much appreciated...

Seriously doubtable and I've fit mattresses inside my car. When I got the hatch i had to fit it diagonally into a panel van.

Idk man, cause if you think about it the hatch is the outside width of the car so u
d have to fit that on the inside width. If mike doesn't mind waiting till may 12ish i can bring it up for him.

Rob, no worries man. That should be fine. The motor/trans didn't go in yet, as I'm awaiting a replacement K-member and oil pan before sliding it all in. Still got a lot to do--Rear, brake lines, fuel lines, body harness and dash--before bringing her over to Jim/Rob for prep/paint.


Definitely looking forward to seeing you up here again, bud. Get home soon!
