Default corvette HUD in '68 camaro?????????

what would i need (besides the HUD unit from the corvette)
in order to make it work in a 68 Camaro?
Possibly the ECM from the corvette too?
Signal generators?
would the signal generators from DakotaDigital.com work???

possibly with a custom computer program to change the info for the dakota guages to the info for the Corvette HUD???

HELP please anyone that can.

Thanks
-Chris

I know that the Corvette requires you to use the special guage cluster for the HUD, not sure that there is any other way to do it.

I think that the HUD cars require a special windshield too. I was talking to a guy yesterday about replacing his windshield and he said that they have some special coating to assist in gauge visibility.

Someone on the forum who put a HUD into his 97 (it's in the tech tips section) said that it still was pretty visible with just the regular windshield, although the sharp rake of the Vette's windshield may be a big part of that.

There are much simpler third-party HUD units that would work better. Just do a google search.

I have the stock '98 windshield and my HUD looks great! :cool:
