what would i need to buy to put the ss front end on my car? i have an 81 monte carlo v6 with plans for an lt1. i really like the ss front and when looking at that front compared to mine it looks like i just need the front bumper and lights. is that all or do i need to swap fenders and hood and bumper?
what is needed to convert non-ss monte to ss front

the supports behind the two different bumpers are very different. The shell is usally inexpensive but the head light bezels and the ss bumper supports and such are expensive. You can get a new one from honest charley but expect to pay anywhere from 1K-2.5K. they do look better but the kits i have seen are very expensive. maybe you could find a donor?
I just checked ebay and man is it your lucky day. there is one for sale.

it needs paint but if the price stays low it is worth it.

Don't forget the top plate between the rad cradle and the nose as well. ;-)
Oh, and if you're sourcing all of the parts seperately you'll need the side marker lights and the front signal lights too.

Front signal lights are actually the same as an SC - other than that, the guys have it covered on what is required. A donor or package purchase is the way to go. Buying the parts aftermarket adds up way to quick - you can buy a whole parts car cheaper in a lot of cases.
Hey SS4Ever-those wheels look amazing on your car!! I hav always liked the ZQ8s but never found any I could afford.
