3rd gen body on a 4thgen chassis

Just a thought but would this fit? I've looked at the measurements on Camaro Source and they seem very close.

Just curious as this would be a way round the up coming law outlawing 20year old cars over here.

i know the rear ends work quite well. as for the front suspension, i know it can be done but its not easy although the anatomy is similar it is far from third gen material. good luck, and what a messed up rule.

I've seen it done before, so it's possible. Probably alot of work and planning.

I'm assuming this is where he lives, from his profile:

looks like a gorgeous place to live, and some of those structures are extraordinary!

Yes thats the place.. lived here since before most of those building existed! Great place for car lovers... so many exotics around but as with everything here you need cash!

The UK magazine, Top Gear, came to do a test of a Bugatti Veyron and needed to borrow one.. they were offered 3 including 1 of only 5 Pur Sang polished chrome versions in the world.

The authorities don't seem to understand that not everyone want new and that some want classics

The 4th gen windshields are more raked and I believe the actual surface area of a 4th gen windshield is bigger.
