Could a LT1/LS1 Hybrid nose like pict be done?

I'm not sure if I would want to try or not, but I sure would like to see one. I do like the first picture. I'm sure you would have to cut 2 noses apart but how would you "glue/bond" the 2 back together?
Maybe Whistler could whip one up in his free time Just Kidding

If it was metal I know I could, But I've never worked with plastic. What would you use to "stick" the 2 parts together?

You would have to trim the impact absorber to make the LS1 grill sit in there right, that's what I had to do to my LT1 impact absorber inorder to get the new bumper to fit. It the one pic, it looks as if the 2 bumpers were cut along the turn signals...

This looks easily to fab up.

I repeat:

This would be extremely easy to do... without wings west prices.

It's almost not challenging, thats how easy this would be.

pu12en12g I think you should prove to us how easy it really is by sending me one

Seriously though, I'm sure it is pretty easy to do if you have the right tools, but most of us do not. The cutting and fitting would be easy but, sticking them back together without the proper equipment would be the hard part. (Chewing gum would not hold up on the roads I drive)

With the people posting here it sounds like you might be able to fill a little niche that has been created and pump out a few to sell. As long as you're willing to sell them without the WW prices
