    hey guys,
I have a 74 camaro and I dont exactly like the whole split grill and huge bumper look. I was wondering if it is possible to change the front end to a earlier 70-73 front end. It looks like the fiberglass pieces match up but I am not sure. If any of you guys have ideas or info on this I would love to hear it.

Thanks

Yes you can, as long as you get the complete front end, including radiator support. we just did it to a 75, the doors fit too.

can be done, it is the same hood, doors, etc. it will take patience and time to get lined up though, and dont tell 74454 you dont like that front end

Rawakenin a dead thred can be bad mojo.But I been lookin 4 verification on door crossing and this is as close as I found.Have a partner at work has a 75 and found a 73 with good doors at a bone yard.Even same color.But was lookin 4 verrification b4 we shag it up.Hate ta waste the time & $$.
 So how far up & down do what exterior parts (doors fenders ect) cross?I did notice that the 73 front fenders are 2 piece with the turn sig in the lower piece where my 77 is 1 piece with the lower being aparently part of the lower air dam under the bumper.

 70 to 77 will work. I have the most bastardized trio of camaro's you ever saw. I'm in the stages of grafting a 75 top on a 73 body. The rear windows are different but the seam is in the same place.

Would it be possible to pull the rear end off of a 75 (or older) and put it on an 80? Are there some better tail lights out that'll fit on a 1980 Z28 because I can't stand the way they look. That's the only turn off on the whole car for me.

then why didn't you just start a new thread and ask for the actual information you needed, instead of re-opening a thread that really doesn't answer your question?

1970-1981 Camaro doors are exactly the same

1970-1977 Camaro Fenders are exactly the same

1970-1981 Hoods are exactly the same
