Hello everyone, My story goes like this, I recently went to my local jumkyard and after searching and searching for something that I could actually use I came upon only one Monte Carlo, a 1987 , in the vast lot of junked Chevys. Needless to say my excitment was through the roof, as I got closer to the front my excitement turned to disappointment as the front clip, fenders and hood had been stripped leaving a bare front and nothing but frame. Leaving the junkyard I couldn't help but notice the abundance of Third Generation Camaros, so I got to thinking since it will take some searching for an SS Monte Carlo nose, if I could bolt on a Third Gen Camaro nose on my Monte instead, to hold me over so my car looks different and MEAN . I know of only one instance of this conversion from Lauren Engineering. Does any one know of another car with this conversion and can I just use a nose I find at the Junkyard and bolt it up and kinda fit it on.
Thanks in Advance

 

no it will not bolt up....Montes are G body cars and Camaros are F body cars....wayyy diff.....theres a whole front clip in a yard here for $250..

just get a monte nose and put on it....


no other front end will Bolt on directly cept a base model monte nose...an LS monte nose and an SS monte nose

base model and LS noses are very very comon compared to the SS nose

 

I guess it could be done - I never even really noticed how close the front clips are. But its still kinda weird looking. I dunno. Probably look better with paint. Unique...

 

Id like to see what that would look like..

 

lol looks wierd but if u got the time, money and curiousity for it then go for it.

''necessity is the mother of all inventions''

 

try craigs list. i found a nose for 100 bucks still trying to scroung up the money to buy it up!

 

dude just get the corect monte nose...or even a LS or base model to hold u over

a camaro nose will NOT bolt on and NONE of the body lines will match up...this would need extensive time and work to look properly....


and u said u need everything from the doors forward...so IF its NOT from a monte it wont fit..end of story lol

fenders and hood alone wont even line up enuf to bolt on if they could b bolted on....its just not feasible unless u have time and money and good at fabrication lol

 

IF u notice....that camaro front nose is not a true camaro nose...its custom...a camaro is alot more pointed then a monte....so that nose in the pic was made custom

 

Yeah... I think your right! Really, all it is is a Monte front clip with the grille filled in. Still a unique idea I guess. I'm still on the fence about whether I like it or not. SDMonte84 had me going there for a minute...

 

lol well there was a little more work involve in makin it then just the grill....

BUT anyway the way the montes are made with that front end he will get NOO air flow...montes need that grill there....
