front interchange

I've seen pics of where someone has taken the front of a camaro and slaped it on a firebird but I was wondering if anyone has ever done it the other way around. firebird front on a camaro. pics would be nice :-)

I don't think the two noses are interchangable, you would have to change the front fenders and hood as well, there is a noticable angle difference in the noses of the two cars.

I guess you could just change the whole front clip, it would probably be easier.

I have seen pics of em before, but the only thing that you really notice is the fender flares. A guy that I knew has a bird with a camaro front end, its ok looking to someone who doesnt know about the fbody's but it really gets to you after a while, or it did to him.
