I've been looking into doing that for a few years with my 70 Nova. I have a ton of old sketches looking at using either a 68 or 69 rs. I actually bought an entire front clip to take measurements from and see what I could do. It is definitely feasible but I personally like the styling of the Nova aside from the big blocky bumpers. I'm now going in the direction similar to what you see on the artwork page that I did. Though I'm on the fence about integrating smoothed 68 Camaro bumpers.
What I discovered is that you can blend the surfaces easily on paper but when it comes to cutting and fitting the sheetmetal...that's a different story. The 69 is particularly difficult because it has those trailing character lines behind the wheel wells that run through the doors and they don't line up too well with the stock body lines of the Nova. Of course...nothing's impossible...all it takes is time and money!
I'd love to see someone else do that...it would be a cool look.
