Default Modern interior conversions?

Hey I just saw a firebird over on BRP's site that had a new GTO interior in it.

It was done by The Dream Car Factory, who is now long gone.

Is there anyone else doing this kind of work? It's just really freekin cool to see the modern interior in the old shell... these "muscle car" remakes that are coming out just dont cut it with me lol.

I'm putting a '99 30th anniversary T/A interior in my '73 Camaro. The 4th gen F-body interior swap is getting more common.

I love the GTO interiors and thought about doing that but I never got around to comparing the measurements before I found a good deal on the T/A interior.

Anything could be made to work... it's just how much work you want to put into it.

Oh, and one more thing... it also makes the engine harness wiring alot easier when you are do an LS swap. The engine harness plugs right into the dash harness and you have working gauges.

You know it. We are doing the same thing with a 87 Monte SS. Basically we are using the entire Z28 electrical harness with the dash install.

Has anyone done a write up on this swap? I would love to update my Regal's interior when I do my LSx Swap. I would just like to know what all is envolved first.
