Has anyone modified a 67 front Camaro bumper to fit onto a 67 Chevelle? i was considering the swap but wanted to know if anyone had tried it yet?

: 67 Camaro Bumper onto a Chevelle Alwhite00 Jan 26th, 08, 4:39 PM For one, I would think the Camaro bumper would be quite a bit narrower. LK jonfarrugia Jan 26th, 08, 6:01 PM Thats the idea. a small narrow bumper with a roll pan under it. 427stingray Jan 26th, 08, 6:37 PM I think he means it isn't wide enough. You would have to weld 2 bumpers together. davis95 Jan 26th, 08, 6:44 PM That's my thoughts also. Chevelles are quite a bit wider than Camaros. jonfarrugia Jan 26th, 08, 9:55 PM I was considering widening the camaro bumper and then add a roll pan under it. I was also going to create a custom grill. Any one have pictures of some custom front ends for ideas? happygounlucky86 Jan 27th, 08, 11:11 AM This one sure seems to be popular hahah http://www.racingjunk.com/post/1092575/1969-Chevelle-Resto-Mod.html?imageIndex=1&showSuperSize=true 427stingray Jan 27th, 08, 11:26 AM leave it stock. MalibuSeaS Jan 27th, 08, 11:54 AM :sad: jonfarrugia Jan 27th, 08, 12:46 PM Its far from stock right now!! http://www.chevelles.com/forums/showthread.php?t=181312 3 Chiefs Jan 27th, 08, 1:25 PM Thats amazing. Do you have it running yet? Paul jonfarrugia Jan 27th, 08, 1:44 PM Not yet....I am in the process of moving the firewall back 3 inchs right behide the engine and smoothing out the rest. The dash will move back a few inchs too and a custom center console will flow into the dash. The plan is to purchase a set of viper seats for the front and buckets for the rear with a center console too. After that, I'll tackle the front grill and bumper. I'll post more pics by the end of the week. sevt_chevelle Jan 27th, 08, 1:51 PM Personally if I was doing to do a custom grille id stick with the stock look but change it enough where its different but people do double takes because something is wrong but they dont know what. Maybe make it out of small round SS tube. Something with expanded metal could look cool. jonfarrugia Jan 27th, 08, 2:29 PM Instead of round ss tube, I was thinking of using ss bar stock I'd run a couple of rows of bar stock from one fender to the other and have the lights mounted behide the grill. I was also thinking of using the camaro bumper and maybe even paint it body color. The bumper would look something like this: http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c155/StriperSS/0178214-R1-015-6.jpg I'm still trying to locate a picture of a grill I like. | ||
