I remember a while back, some people were planning on fabricating a 4th gen TA nose onto a thirdgen bird.... The photoshop pics looked pretty sweet, I am just wondering if anyone has done it yet...

Yeah it did look sweet, but I don't believe anyone has attempted it yet. I think it would look dumb from the side. Too round go good with the squared off rear end.

I don't have a trans am, or firebird, but the whole front end is fiberglass right? You could probably could probably fit the 4th gen over top of the 3rd gen, then cut the third gen somewhere where they match up halfway decent, then fiberglass the two pieces together and bolt it on. Bondo makes a fiberglass repair kit that would probably work for this application.
