Default Firebird front end

Caution
This idea is a little out there.

Take the hood, front bumber headlights etc. from a busted up (maybe rear ended) mid 90'* Firebird, along with the front fenders and graft them on to a 95+ bonnie. Probably have to make the fenders front half Firebird and weld them to the back half of the Bonnie fenders. Quite a bit of modification to the radiator area and bumber supports, but the Firebird hood is longer giving some room to work with.
So this doesn't look completely retarded (which it may anyway) the front end at least would have to be lowered alot with less of a drop in the back.

Then do a chop-top lowering the roof a couple inches and raking the wind shield back to match the Firebird look a little more. Then the back end could go either bonnie or firebird as long as there'* a big pontiac diamond on it.

Wah-La instant 4-door sport touring muscle car thing. Hehehe.

So, anyone want to try it ? or should I lay off the crank

Interesting idea. Not sure how it would look, but keep thinking like that and I'm sure we'll end up seeing you on Monster Garage
