i found a good deal on a '79 firebird, no engine/tranny, but i hate the look of the front nose of the firebird, so i was wondering, would the 78-81 camaro hood/fenders/header panel fit on the 79 firebird?

saw a 80 firebird with an 81 z28 camaro front clip on it last winter don't know how much trouble it is to do as far as nut and bolting it on.

The body lines are different across the lower part of the side of the car I think. In other words, the doors are different, the rear quarters are different etc.

The doors are the same on the firebird and camaro from 1970 to 1981. The frontend will fit. They also use the same front frame so the radiator support will mount in the same holes.
