I'll get you some tomorrow, I get it back from the upholstery place tomorrow, they made me some custom door panels to match the dash. I'll take some tomorrow when I get it back, but I did the dash myself.

oh heck yeah. id really like to see pics of this too. i love my 79 and i love my 96. with people putting 4th gen fronts under the 2nd gen metal and now someone putting a 4th gen dash in a 2nd gen car youve almost got a complete 4th gen wrapped in 2nd gen metal and lines. sounds good to me.

Not sure who's it is but I found these pictures a long time ago, it's a 93 interior in a 73 Camaro, check out the custom touch on the door panel in the front corner

Teddy,
Don't worry about it. You live 15 minutes from my house and you know I will be hooking you up since I was one of the very first people to even do this in a 69 Camaro. So putting it into a 70 wont be that much different. I still have alll my bracket designs and everything we need to get it into your car.
Im glad I talked you into the T/A dash too instead of the Camaro. You wont regret it. Once we have the old dash cut out I can design your brackets and have your new dash bolted in within 1 day.

Sorry, but I put those on my own site, I had them saved on my hard drive for years, but I can't recall where I had got them
