camaro hood on bird?

tried searching found nothing.

has anyone tried and succeded in making a camaro hood fit on a bird? all i can see is that you need to cut out those squares for the headlights to make it work. think it can be done?

Camaro hood will not work. The camaro hood is shorter than for a bird, and the curv in the hood is diffrent (it would not match up to your bird fenders).

well since people sort of answered him i had a sort of same question here ((front clip)) but i dont think the hood will fit cause like they said cause of the slope difference and the slope on the fenders wouldnt match up. at least i dont think so.
