HUD install in '68 camaro???

Is it possible to install a heads-up-display from a grand prix (or corvette) in a '68 Chevy Camaro??
What else (besides the HUD unit to project the image) would i need to install, maybe a ECM from the grand prix, to give the info to the HUD????
Signal generators??

thanks for your help
-Chris

its not the windshield i am worried about---
you could angle the projector for the rake of the windshield so that its the right perspective and possibly add a coating to the windshieild to make it project clearer, its just a matter of refraction and reflection and what colors you want to relflect and what ones you want to transmit

im worried about space in the dash and electronics, - getting the info to the projector

The windshield doesn't matter. There have been people that have replaced windsheilds on HUD equipped cars with normal windshields and had no adverse effects.

The problem is going to be the HUD itself. It gets most of it's info from the PCM and the motor sensors. Since you car isn't ODBII (or even ODBI), you're gonna have trouble getting it to read anything at all. Talk about a wiring and programming nightmare!
