anyone know how hard it would be to do a trans am front end on a camaro?

Hey guys. Ive been wanting to do something custom and cool. But i dont know much about doing custom body work. Like with fiberglass and bondo...

So i was thinking about taking a trans am formula front clip and putting it on my camaro. Im thinking the 98-02 on mine or the 93-97 style. I love them both..

Can it be done? Anyone got any pics? I seen one on youtube like this and loved it.....

Bobby, if you decide to go through with this project, I'd say go for the LS1-style front end like the guy on tech there that TD posted did. Whatever you do, please don't put that '67 Shelby-looking hatch on your car

trust me i wont... i like the hatch though, but they look alot better with the normal hatch...

I can't tell you for sure, Bobby. I just got done reading that entire thread from tech (whew!) from the sound of things you probably would though. I take back what I said about that hatch, as the project took shape, I actually ended up really liking it. It ended up morphing into something very pleasing to the eye. Go for this project, man, and finish it. I was very sad to learn that this guy on tech sold the car in the midst of the project

This car looks awesome, expect of course for the hatch lol. I wonder why guy just didn't buy a WS6 its the same thing basically. Also for him to do all this great work, money and time just to sale it is disappointing.

Question: anyone know what kind of spoiler that is on the back? I like it, Its similar to RS but is attached on the sides.

I am and always be a camaro man, but man the ws6 hood and body package is sweet
