has any one tried?
to convert a 98-02 Camaro into looking like an 93-97?? probly a dumb question but i like the 93-97 body style more an i am wondering if it is possible
|
It is possible. Just have to get lt1 style fenders, hood, bumpercover, air dam, pretty much everything in the front end, and you might have to modify some of the mounting points.

The problem you will run into is the 93-97 front end sits LOWER than the later
style front end. This means the hood bump stops will be about 1 inch higher on an 98-02 Camaro. Everything else should fit fine, but the hood will not be able to close to the latch because the bump stops will be in the way. You can make special SUPER low bump stops, OR not use them at all on the fender area (there is another set at the latch area that gets changed with the nose). This is the bump stop I am talking about : https://hometown.aol.com/sbca96/imag...ntend_017a.jpg This is the space left between the hood and the bump stop, its about an inch of space. The bump stop is untouched from "LT1" height. The hood is latched in the front. I was able to move the hood down about 1/4 inch so the difference might be a little under an inch .. maybe 3/4. https://hometown.aol.com/sbca96/imag...ntend_020a.jpg Tom |
Yes, I have seen it done a couple of times. Its alot of work involved though.

i'd trade ya even up if ya want....:D

Isnt the intake higher on the LS1?
I thought that was why they redesigned the front end, but I could be wrong. I think that a cowl hood could take care of the height difference though. Great Idea for a project! |
