Front End Question

I have a green '95 3.8 V6. Both corners of the hood are bent, and there's a crack to the right of the Chevy sign from the black part down. My question is can I take a front end off the Newer ones (Like an '02) and put it on mine?

Trust me, its not as simple as buying the nose and swapping it over. You need fenders, hood, headlights, brakets, and a lot of patience. Good luck bro.

I knew it wasn't just like a straight swap, but I didn't know if you'd hafta like...cut the new nose or anything to make it fit. My dad was a mechanic for 20 odd yars so he (generally) knows what he's doing. The swapping isn't set in stone, I was just seeing how much of a pain it would be.
