      bored..68 to a 69??

      ok im sitting here bored and i was wondering if it would even be possible to make a 68 camaro into a 69 camaro like buy body panels and have them change it. i dont plan on doing it just wondering if its possible.

      do you think it would be cheaper to do that if lets say you cant find a 69 camaro anywhere and all the ones you do find are 14,000+??

      That seems like it'd be more trouble than it's worth. I imagine you'd have a pretty hefty amount in buying the new body panels and having them put on the car (unless you do panel replacement yourself).

      I think it would be easier to make a firebird into a camaro than to change the basic bodylines.

      Dash would need to be changed too. I agree stick with a 67/8 they are much nicer.
