Custom Dash
I am swapping the motor and tranny out of a 94 camaro and was thinking it would be easier to make a dash that incorporated the camaro dash and climate controls than splice in my wiring into the camaro's harness. I was thinking about wrapping it in leather or something like that. Has anyone else done this? Any advice?

Are you referring to the dash pad and all that is in it or just the gauge cluster and heater controls?
Either way, it's a LOT of work. Measure the depth of the stock Vette dash from windshield front edge. Now go do the same with the Camaro dash.
Either way, the Camaro has electronic heater controls, your Vette has vacuum controls.

I was just going to put the guages and controls in the car. I have everything from the camaro to try to fit in the vette. I'll prob try it anyway and keep my old dash. worst case Im out a bit of fiberglass and have to use my old dash. I didnt expect it to be easy just easier and classier
