3rd gen body swaping

3rd gen body swaping

if you look at the pic up to your left, the thirdgen.org mesage board image. see the blue car in the front. I can get one just liek it cheap to steal body parts off of.

Will they fit on my 86 bird? I would like the doors,hood,hatch n some of the G-effects???

I think dude would want too much for the whole car, I think parts would be easier to get off him.

If anything i know I want the doors bu the hood n hatch would be cool.

course which hatch works better, the ta wrap around wing or the wing I have?

Doors - yes
Hood - no...unless you modify it
Hatch - ...that ones hard to say...I'd say yes...but I"m not 100% sure about that one
GFX - hmmm...side skirts? yes with modification, front? yes with modification...possibly alot of modification, rear? no.

Revlimit, why not the hood or hatch? Gumby, you're talking about the blue firebird, right? All Firebird stuff interchanges, 82-92.

Oh, wait, Rev, were you talking about the Camaro? Yeah, only body stuff between a Camaro that's swappable (without making a CamaroBird, which is completely ridiculous) are the doors and the hatch.

YOU could put the hood on there too but you would have to swap out the front end aswell and put a new headlight assembaly in there.

yea the blue one

What about the wing stuff??? is wrap around wing better or the stock FB wing?

does one work better than the other, or are they both just style and not much function?

well I am not sure if they are GFX but the front nose has more style.

One of those car that the guy had no abmition to fix and untill he must move it or get ride of it. 3-4 years it has been sitting. the blown motor and the new one from the junk yard, with a piece of carpet over them; sitting there also 2-3 years. out side, but under a tree, in the shade 90% of the time. but then when just talking he acts like he would sell some parts off it.
