i have an 85 T/A that I am goign to restore/buildup, is it possible to run a camareo type nose on it to eliminate pop up headlights, and also can you run a camaro dash in it?

 

If you replace the nose you're going to need a new hood and new fenders I believe. Not sure on the dash but I believe it will work I don't see why not.

 

hmmmm...might wanna look up "transmaro" in the search button

 

fenders are the same.

 

Firebird and Camaro fenders are NOT the same. Park the two car next to each other and you can see they aren't even close.

The unibody underneath the fenders is the same.

 

yup. Febders are the same.....at the beginning of the door. From there they are different

 

Fenders are not the same.... its the wheel lip that isn't the same.

On the Camaro its sharper than a Firebird. The Firebird is more curved.. so they ARE different but you would'nt notice unless you saw the two right beside each other or put a camaro front end on a firebird body like in the transmero...

take a look at the transmero and you can see the fender wheel lips are more angled than the quarter panel wheel lips...

just a little clarification...

 

on the dash swap, there are these little brackets that the camaro has to have for it to mount up to the body, they are spot welded onto the body, about 2 or 3 in each one. When I did it to my Transmaro I thought they were a direct swap and I already had the TA dash out, my butthole puckered up out of fear lol but it isn't too bad, there are alignment holes that the factory uses and you can use them too, just take some simple measurements. Now for the wires to the turn signals and rear lights, they are different in the camaro than the TA. I ended up taking the turn signal wires and plugging them into a dual filament bulb socket in the far saide running lights on the TA. So now my brake lights and turn signal bulbs are on 2 different circuits, its not too bad, the wiring was the toughest part but if you are decent with a test light and VOM its not too hard
