2010-2011 camaro dash in first gen?
 
Hey guys, I tried searching and found no info yet on if this has been done. I'm currently building a 69 pro touring camaro and I'm wanting to do a whole 5th gen interior. I measured both the 5th gen and first gen dash and they're the same width. I just want to know if anyone else has done it before I waste $$ on all these parts because they seem to be expensive.


Thanks,
Vinnie.

A quick search did not yield a result, so my guess is that yes, you would be the first to do it. Good luck. :thumbsup:

DSE is building one right now.
It is more custom than camaro, but uses the camaro clusters

Go to DSEs webite & look under projects.
The one with the dash is Randy Fricke's 1969 Camaro.

Anything awesome usually costs a couple bucks. ;)

Thanks guys but I seen the dse link and they made it out of aluminum....I'm looking to do the swap with an actual 5th gen dash. I agree anything custom is $$$$ lol.

Depth from the windshield to steering wheel will be the biggest problem, i have a Camaro dash and a first gen in shop now, Lots of cutting...Lots. Be easier to make one than adapt it. What DSE did is really nice!!

I think they ran out of metal to build armrest/handle :D That's insane work

Its not going to be a plug and play. There will be some mods you have to make. I saw the dash in person at DSE on Saturday and it is cool. Good luck with it.
