Take a good look at the front end of both and see what the key difference is.

I'm going to say it will fit. But the fenders and headlights are gonna give you some trouble.

might be cool if you welded in something to compensate for the headlights.

and maybe make a tech article on how thats done. have you ever seen a camaro and a firebird...the lines are totally diffrent. a birdy front end slopes down more than a maro. would probably be easier to just start w/ a flat piece of sheet metal and then get the torch adn the welder out and start bending it up

well, if you took a flat camaro hood, and the trans am hood, you could cut them both up and weld the parts off the TA you want to keep onto the camaro hood. obviously theres more work involved than that, but it can be done. if something doesnt fit, make it fit. anything can be done
