Ok, so we've got a site here for third gen camaros/firebirds right? Just think about that coupling "camaro/firebird" Now, how many of you have pondered the difference between a firebird and a camaro? The visible differences? Well... different body panels excluding doors and roof assys. Different spoiler and different guage clusters...

So my question is... just how hard would it be to make a firebird into a camaro and vice versa?

not worth it, it would pribibly be fairly easy if you had all the parts

 

I've always thought it would be interesting if someone built a half bird/half maro thirdgen. Just an idea.

I ve always think about that ..even i posted once about it...my best car ..mmm a 89 TTA but with the Camaro Nose Fenders and Hood ¡¡¡¡ and it doesnt take much ...its just a simple swap¡¡ if you wanna change tails its more difficult cause you have to change te whole querter panels to the taillights fit
i guess .. if someone in the world maybe had done something like this ..i like to see pics : )

This guy swapped in a TTA interior, as well as full TTA drivetrain. Pic courtesy os MacEwen Motorsports. THe gauges kick *** , i love mine, lol. (no thats not mine)


The interiors are direct swaps im pretty sure, as are most of the body panels except hoods, front fenders, front and rear bumpers, and prolly rear quarters....

What guage clusters for the firebird came with a 140 or similar speedo? I've been looking for direct swaps that surpass the lame 85 MPH limit... I don't even have a guage that I can estimate past 90 MPH since the trip meter pin gets in the way... literally pegs the speedo... kinda cool to see your guage twitching though
