GTA-28 CamaroBird

I'm in the marjet for another camaro, I was thinking about doing something a little different.

I want to take the shell of a GTA, put the front end of a camaro on it, and install the camaro's dash and center console. Effectively making this car a camaro with GTA tail.

Has anyone seen this done? Does anyone have pictures If they have seen it?

I'm very serious about doing it and I want to get an idea of what it will look like when I'm done.

It shouldn't be that hard to imagine. You're probably going to get alot of negative posts for butchering such a fine vehicle. And I believe to swap from bumpers you will need fenders and hood as well.

yeah, you'll get bashed. It's very doable and similar combinations have been done before. My question is why go with the camaro dash and center console when the firebird dash and console are so much better looking?! hehe

Do a ! And it doesn't matter what everyone else thinks, it's your car, do what you want. I don't like the Transmaro look, but like I said, it's your dream.
