First Gen Camaro/Firebird Interchangeability

Would it be possible to replace a first generation Firebird's hood and front fascia with that of a first generation Camaro? If so, how difficult would it be? Would you have to also replace the fenders? I know this isn't exactly "engine tech", but I thought that I would get the best replies here. I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

I have actually seen a Firebird converted over to Camaro sheetmetal, so yes it is possible. However, if you do this, I will have to kill you.

Haha, yeah. I know that doing that would stir up a lot of trouble. It's just that you can get a Firebird for so much cheaper, and I'm a little tempted. Is the one you were talking about on the Internet anywere? Thanks for the help.

That would be the worst thing you could ever do. The front of a firebird looks so much better then the camaro. Of course i could just be biased.

I can see how you might be a little biased. No worries though, I'm not really gonna do it. I guess ill just fork over the money for a Camaro unstead of one of those cheap Firebirds. Haha j/k.
