front end conversion i have a 93 camaro and it looks ok, but id really love for it to look like a 97
ws6 TA instead. would it be possible to remove my front end and replace it with the 97 ws6 front end and have it fit correctly? ive seen a 94 camaro with the 99 body and a 95 trans am with a 99 trans am body, so i was wondering if i can do the same thing but with a twist. all help will be appreatiated. (did i spell that right? i havent gone to bed yet and its 8:10 in the morning, aaarrrggghhh i need to fix my sleeping pattern)

It wouldn't work at all without some very custom body work. Even with the fenders, hood, front clip...the door jambs wouldn't line up with the fender. Take one look at the doors and you'll see. Then if you replace the doors with TA units...the body wouldnt flow from the rear quarter panels to the door. Besides.....it would look hideous....ewww.

The body panels wont line up right. Youll basically have the opposite of this:
