Default 77 front end to 70 split bumper?

i have been looking into getting a 70s camaro. One of my favorite muscle cars is the 70 split bumper z28. now i cant afford one but i found a nice solid 77 camaro i might pick up as a project car. is it possible to put the 70 front end on the 77? to me they look like basically the same car only the front bumper changed from year to year. is it possible to bolt that front end on a 77, if so how much work is it going to take? also it seems like this would take alot of work but could the 70 rear end be put on too? i mean like the rear bumper and the twin style tail lights. thanks for the help

yes you could. It wont look right due to the rear window being different and some other things, The front will look fine, for the back, you will need new quarter panels, rear bumper, and other misc. 1970 parts.

If you want to, do it,

You can allways buy the car and if you do not go through with the 70 conversion, you can sell it.

i figured the rear would be hard to do but it mainly the front that i was hoping for. what kind of work is needed? is it basically just a bolt on conversion? or am i going to need to weld on differant tabs ect. anyone know where i can find the front end peices i need (bumper, lights ect.)

I think you will just bealbe to bolt it all on. ( I think you are doing the fenders as well?) if so, it would be very easy.

I dont think you would need to fab on any tabs or anything. It should be easy.

Let me know how you are comming with this. Its an interesting project.

Enjoy
