turning a firebird into a camaro question

[andrew.brandon]

I really don't like the rear spoiler on my bird and I am wondering if I can change out the rear quarter panels and hatch with a camaro since I like it better. My bird is a 95. Can anyone help me out?

they wont line up correctly. you would need to do some custom metal work to line them up right, and then i sill dont know how good it would look.

heres something to kinda give you an idea, allthough its not the same as what youre asking for. http://camaroz28.com/99fbody/

Look at the side mirrors! That looks retarded!

why dont you just swap your hatch for a TA hatch?

and dude, thats one of the most retarded questions ive ever heard on this board. if you didnt like the back of the bird why did you buy it in the first place? [img]redface.gif[/img]

Just wondering but is it possible to take like all the body off a Camaro and put on a Bird body? Im not gonna do it I was just wondering..

that camaro/bird i think is pretty cool. it really messes with ur head looking at it.

[slow]

you can't put a TA hatch on a camaro, the hatch will not line up with the rear 1/4 panels.

the firebird back 1/4s are about flush with the hatch seal, the camaro, goes down about 2"

i saw a late 90s bird around here with a corvette rear end...or was it a corvette with a firebird front end? haha nah it look sorta stupid actually...ill see if i see it again and get a pic or something...but if i got a pic of me racing em..well that would defeat the purpose cuz i guess ud only get to see the front end?

you do realize that that was a test mule for GM, and not a waste of money that somebody did aftermarket right?

There is a story about the car if you didn't read it, and why it was done, thrown together with spare parts, notice the old firebird center console, ect..

yes, it is pretty poor looking. i was attempting to illustrate what it would look like to paste a camaro half to a firebird half, just as he was asking about.

that is just nasty, want a camaro get a camaro, dont do that mix stuff, it will never look right.
