Okay, I have read and seen other guys do this and I am seriously considering this for a fun project. I want to take a 4th gen interior (dash, cluster, door panels, center consule...etc) and swap it into my 3rd gen. Has anyone here ever done this, and if so... How much/long will it take? Also, how much patience(lol)? Any comments questions and concerns would greatly be apprectiated!

This project does not seem fun at all...I would refer to it as daunting. You would undoubtedly need to fabricate parts and I don't see the benefit. If your interior is in bad shape, but the rest of the car is good, I would advise you to get an interior from a 3rd Gen that got wrapped around a tree early in its life. There are plenty of those out there.

True, it may seem daunting... but at the same time the finished project looks very good. I have access to a 97 complete interior. Take a look at some of these sites and tell me what you think of how these guys did it.<br />This is quoted for someone's friend who did this from 3rdgen.org "really the only thing he had to cut up was on the frame under the dash there are two brackets that stick out. he just cut them off and the dash bolts right in. The wiring is kinda goofey but on the 3rd gens the wiring isn't all that hard to figure out."<br /><a href="http://www.geocities.com/joecarrr1/dash.html" target="_blank">http://www.geocities.com/joecarrr1/dash.html</a> <br /><a href="http://home.c2i.net/heggestad/camaro" target="_blank">http://home.c2i.net/heggestad/camaro</a> <br /><a href="http://www.fortunecity.com/silverstone/clutch/63/" target="_blank">http://www.fortunecity.com/silverstone/clutch/63/</a>

I hope to eventually do this swap. It doesn't seem difficult, just time consuming. <img src="graemlins/shrug.gif" border="0" alt="[Shrug]" />
