Re: Body swap
Actually, if you park a Firebird next to a Camaro and stand back a few feet, all the external sheetmetal aside from the roof, door skins, and decklid are completely different.
If a person is extra trailer trashy, the front clip will bolt onto both cars, so you can put the doors forward from a Camaro on a Firebird, but it generally looks like something created in a Special Education Shop Class.
It's not difficult to find a junk thirdgen shell without serious body damage or rust. If it were me, I'd keep looking for a better donor that will match what you've got.

Re: Body swap
Am I going crazy? It's only the front you can swap. The rear body is either camaro or firebird only due to the fenders/taillights.
