You really should just go buy a 2nd gen (70 1/2 - 81) if you want that look so bad. I feel that if you had the skill level to take on this type of a project and make it look decent (don't know how), that you wouldn't have to ask this question.

Re: 92RS front clip to 2ed gen z28 front clip

well i like the body of the 3rd gen camaros but not the front clip as much i am just wondering what would be easier to get the parts of a 2ed gen z28 and just mod them to fit or make a FG front clip of a CF front clip
because i am after the look of the Turbo-Z in the front end

First thing that pops in my head is you gotta shorten the hood cause it extends past the fenders, but then I would think it would take some serious work to get our flat hood to line up with that front bumper.

well i was thinking the same thing about the hood but then i started thinking for that i would be better off just making a hood for it so then the parts i would be needing to work on the most would be everything else in the font clip
i know the finders you would have to move the finder around of the 2ed gen and then as for the front bumper i saw that it bolts on from in the inside of the sinder on to the radial suport below the lights to that would have to be moded so how to get it to work with the finder and the radial suport of the camaro rs

I'm sure it can be done, but not worth in IMO and I don't think it would look good at all. I have seen pix of a Ranger with a 99-04 Mustang front end on it-the work was done right, but man did it look bad.
