I pulled my dash but put another Camaro dash back in (did an ebony conversion). Hang in there... The "oh ****" stage:



Makes you appreciate your finished product so much more...

I had a Firebird dash lying around, thats why im using it, anything other then the ugly 93-96 dash... If i had had a 97+ camaro dash i would have used it.

now im kicking myself for not picking up the free Ebony FB dash we ran into a month back!

Ahhh... I put a 97+ dash in a friend's 95. Biggest pain was re-pinning the computer plug in to accept the 1997 gauge cluster.

I'm sure you know all about that PITA though (assuming a 93-96 Camaro cluster will not fit a FB dash, you will either have to use a FB cluster or a 1997 Camaro cluster)...

I have some but I was pretty much using the shell since it was track car. I also used the Firebird door panels.
