No I do not plan to ever undertake such a task, lemme clear that up right now

How much would it cost to update the interior of a 84-89 to 90+ dash, door panels, and such?

I think it would cost more than its worth...lol

Why not sell they 84-89 and buy a 90+? :yesnod:

EXTREMELY COST PROHIBITIVE

For sure!

Couldn't be any more expensive than what people pay for the bumper upgrades, plus install and paint, and there are enough that do it.

Thanks Scorp!!!

So far I think I have about $600 in parts.. All I am I missing at this point is The A/C unit and the CCM.

I will be posting progess on my webpage as I dig into it and swap it.
here is where the info will be http://www.vettextc.net/dash_conversion.htm

I should have the dash from a 91 within the next couple of weeks and don't plan on starting until Dec of this year..

As others said it may cost too much.. but when you spent as much as I have on my current vette.. the swap is cheaper then selling and starting over again

Didn't a guy in Vermont or Connecticut do this also?

-=Jeff=-

Yep Vtvette on the forum. although he kept the wiring from the older dash and did a complete custom job. He alos used Autometer Phantom Gauges in place of the newer cluster. I thought of this also, it might be easier.. I have not really fully decided yet

I know I'm probably reading this wrong, but did you say that the conversion is costing you ~$600? If so then that's not so crazy in my book...

-=Jeff=-

Close, I have spent ~600 so far.. My guess is depending in what else I need it will be closer to $1000 when all is said and done.

Is that using new or used parts? Does it include door panels?

That's really cool! If I ever did this it wouldn't be soon but it's really interesting...

-=Jeff=-

Used parts, Door panels not included at that price.. you need to do some creative looking.. I got my door panels in the color I wanted for $50 for the pair

$50!? :eek: Man you ARE good!
