Default maybe the worst idea ever?

I was wondering if any ricer inspired geniuses out there have ever attempted a camarobird conversion? Like a bird front end on a camaro or vice-versa... For me the idea sounds so terrible that i would love to see it(messed up i know).

So if you have any pics: post up

I think all said and done it would look decent, as long as he lost that hatch. It looks like he is making everything fit right though. I dunno...looks alright to me. I saw one before that looked HORRIBLE. Nothing lined up, I think it was a red camarobird.

It was a 99 GM powertrain development vehicle if memory serves me correct, so nobody cared how it looked.

You shoudl see some of the mules that are used for calibrations and powertrain development.

interesting it has a 93-96 center console and a manual gear box.
