1983 camaro body update

I have a 1983 Z28 that i am putting a '92 body update on. I have the rear bumper cover and all the aero ground effects and a new front fascia. What all will i have to change to get the nose to fit correctly and aside from the nose is everything else a simple bolt on? Also, is the '82-'84 Z28 hood the only fiberglass camaro hood GM ever produced from 82-92? Thanks for the help!!

Re: 1983 camaro body update

Okay thanks. So i will have to do a little drilling on the fenders for the different ground effects package. I think I will also have to change out the front bumper and the absorber pad. Thanks for the info! Does anybody out in camaro land know if GM only made 'glass camaro hoods from 82-84?

Re: 1983 camaro body update

Okay I found out. yep just 82-83 and just on the crossfire cars in 84 that had actual functioning flappers. My car had one when i got it but a run in with a telephone pole in '94 took care of that. They seem to be pretty rare these days.
