3rd gen Camaro console in older car

[Mr Nick]

Anybody ever used a 3rd gen Camaro console in one of their oder projects? I have a 70-81 F-body console I was going to use, but there isn't enough room to mount a radio or 3 gauges like I hoped.

Seems like a 3rd gen console has a lot more room to work with.

I really like how this looks. Anybody have more info on it?

The 3rd gen consoles are pretty wide where the shifter and parking brake lever are located. You might have to spread the seats out a little. I know the 3rd gen consoles are a couple inches wider than the 1st gen camaro consoles.

[Mr Nick]

Good point, I didn't think of that. I'm running seats from a 2000 Camaro, which are narrower then stock, so it shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks for the heads up!

What are you planning on putting this in? The cutlass? Or are you working on a different project?

[Mr Nick]

Yes, it's for the Cutlass.

[cheapthrillz]

yea you shouldn't have a problem with space....

Josh... I gotta know. Is the e-brake handle functional and if so, how hard is it to adapt to a g-body?
