Couple of second gen camaro questions

First, what's the width of the rear end?

Second, Is it possible to change the tail light panel and tail lights themselves over to a 70-73 style? I have a 75 now... I am puttign a 70-73 glass front end on it (it's a full time race car) and would like the back to match.

LOL... I was not trying to be silly
Seriously, though, it should not be THAT hard, if you can do body welding. You need to replace the rear panel, then the lights, bumper etc...



The rear dimentions should be similar.

You think that you will do it?

If I can find a car with donor parts cheap I'd probably tackle it. If cost were no option I'd just get the whole 70-73 fiberglass tub, but at $1300 plus shipping and glass doors to match, and lots more fab work, I think I'll stick tot he cosmetic version for now
