Couple body swap questions
I want to get the side moulding like on the newer 3rd gens, that is like a small bump and body color, like that came on the 88 Formulas. I want to swap it over to my 82 bird, is it a major deal?
I would also like to know the difference between the GFX sets from the 82-92 Bird and Camaro's, I can get the camaro stuff all over, but the bird stuff seems scarce, and would like the early style GFX kits.
Sorry I cannot be more specific, but I am not 100% sure what years had what, just what I like by eyesite, and know a few years.
Any help would be awesome, ty in advance

I'm not positive, but I believe the camaro GFX are smaller. They either aren't as tall on the body or are narrower, but I think i rememebr a while back a discussion about the camaro set being smaller. Try doing a search on here for ground effects and it should come up. Sorry I can't be more help...hope the search helps some.

Re: Couple body swap questions
not sure on the GFX, but from visual, the Camaro ones are considerably smaller. Door moulding however, I THINK the old ones are rivited in. Not to sure on that. I know the newer style ones are stuck on with duble sided tape however. I also like the newer style mouldings
