a camaro/firebird hybrid ???

hello brotherhood.
recently a crazy idea came to my mind (i mean real nuts)
i'm looking for a camaro third gen frame (fuselage, chassis, body or whatever name), while on a scrapyard looking for wheels, found a third gen firebird, with impecable body, everything else ruined (it's been submerged on a river for too long), so i wondered. it's back looks better, but the front side camaro is better looking to my humble taste, so...
if i get this frame and use the front of my camaro (wich is still in good shape) fenders, hood, front bumpers etc, etc, etc. will they fit?
basically, can i transform a firebird front into a camaro front?
will it be a bolt on mod ???
thanks to all and now you can call me crazy.
