short answer, not a chance. Oddly enough, the c4 front frame rails are about the same width as a 3rd gens rails, but thats the least of the problems.
on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a bolt in job, 10 being brain surgery. This is about a 9 or 10

what do you mean by front end, just the fascia or what. the guy in that thread is awesome he put the whole frame of a vette and grafted it into his camaro. as for putting the fascia on i dont see the purpose of it, nor do i see it working easily
