Another Hybrid Idea

Yes, I want to make a hybrid third gen.

What I'd like is a third gen with a Camaro front end and lights, the Firebird read end, Firebird interior, and t-tops, and Camaro gfx. Any ideas/suggestions on how to go about this? My guess is to get a Firebird and then just change the read end. What you think?

If you want a Firebird rear end, I wouldn't change the rear end on a Firebird. I'd leave it as it is....

Whoops. I mistyped. What I meant to say was get a Firebird and change the FRONT end, not read, like I typed.

That was EXACTLY what I had in mind, well mind the fact that I don't want a formula like spoiler, just the regular one. And t-tops. But I dunno why, I just really like it. Plus I'd paint it a really funky color. I'd worry about the egine later on.

Also, I guess since I already had a firebird before and had quite a lot of trouble with the stupid pop-up lights, I want to stay away from it. Plus I don't really like pop-up lights all that much to begin with, and I like how the Camaro front end looks over the Firebird's. But thank you, I apreciate.
