Thanks
My Dad is the one who got me into automotive work. I'm 22 now and I started learning body work since I was about 12 or 13 years old. I've had Lots and Lots of times that I've screwed up lol and my car was the perfect candidate.
You most certainly can. Now it won't be anything like just bolt on and go though, It will require some pretty extensive body work for the fenders and doors to meet with each other. The easiest and fastest way for me would be to cut the rear section of the camaro fender right at where the door meets, do the same for the firebird and then re-fiberglass it together. The hood and front bumper should be pretty straight forward. Same thing with the hatch If you go with the firebird hatch you will need some tweaking for it to work, and the T/A hatch would require more work to do. The rear edge of the quarter panel would need some good amount of cutting since the camaro quarters sit at a higher level than the firebired/ T/As. Headlights would need modify as well depending on which one you choose. The frame for both cars are exactly the same from 93-02, Only thing different is the rear quarter panels. Ernest
Not my style on parts but will be interesting to see it done, even if u get hate from the car u should be proud cause your putting in the hard work to do what you wanted. Most people don't know how much work is really involved in a typical body/paint job let alone a custom project. Good luck.

(Silver base)
Those who don't like it Red, Maybe you'll like it painted the Tangerine Kandy. I Love it 10x more than the Viper Red.
