Camaro/Firebird body panel interchangability?
Camaro/Firebird body panel interchangability?
This is something I've always wondered- would it be possible to fit third gen Firebird fenders, hood, and front clip to a third gen Camaro? Or any other combinations of the two cars?
Has it been done before? Any pics?

Re: Camaro/Firebird body panel interchangability?
yes a few times, do a search on a transmaro-trans-maro
the frame is the same but... everything must be replaced
lets say u have a camaro and you want a firebird/trans am front end
you need trans am fenders, hood, bumper, headlight assembly and possibly if its a v6 camaro you need a firebird hood latch panel and then need a firebird v6 air filter assembly
if its a v8 i think your ok with the camaro hood latch panel but i never done it so not 100% on that
lots of work but do whatever you want with your car.
hope this helps
