I got the magical idea of a third gen camaro (cramit apperently, according to old threads) with a Monte Carlo front end. I remember the 00's had kids swapping Integra front ends on civics and reverse.

What other cars can graft the face of a other car onto it without ridiculous modifications? (obviously you can put ANY face on ANY car with enough cutting/grinding/bondo.)

Fox body Mustangs, Capris, Fairmonts, and Zephyers all have interchangeable front ends including body lines and door shut lines.

2013-2017 Chevy SS is an exported Holden Commodore SS. You can do a full Holden conversion on the Chevys, they're fun to see around.

I've seen a few F-series with Navigator noses stuffed on them.

That is neat, but I'm wagering it's a cut/grind/bondo affair.

The excursions will take F series super duty stuff through I think 2008 as well, everything from the A pillar forward.

That nose is rubber (Endura) It might just be a fold / spindle / mutilate thing.

This is a 240SX owner we're talking about.

Nissan Silvia and 180SX is one of my favorites, aka a Sileighty.

A more subtle swap would be Ford Escort and Mercury Tracer grille/headlights/bumper. Spot the difference:

Pretty much all GM trucks of the same generation can swap years, Chevy to GMC, base models to Silverados etc etc.

I thought I had a pic of this regal I saw with a monte ss nose grafted on. It looked....different. Must have been a ton of work to since they don't line up. My brothers friend built it, he's really good with that stuff typically. He also did the half cut on my rabbit truck with a cabby clip to rid me of the Westmoreland rust.
