Not to say it can't be done, if time and money are no object.
This little car is one of six 1963 Pontiac Lemans coupes (there were also six wagons), created specifically for drag racing with a 421 cubic inch engine, special 4 speed transaxle, and aluminum front end sheet metal. It created quite a buzz on ebay a few years back when it sold for $226,521.63 as you see it here. Only one other coupe and one wagon are confirmed to still exist.
When the car was located (in a storage unit! in Harrison Twp Michigan) it had a steel front end on it. Any Pontiac enthusiast worth his salt knows that the original aluminum front end was removed a long time ago and is owned by a guy in Florida. When he was approached about reuniting the original front end with the car his asking price indicated that he didn't really want to do it. As a result the restorers decided to fabricate
a new aluminum front end from scratch to complete the car. The parts were hammered by hand over small forms with soft mallets and sand bags, and then joined together to create the larger assemblies.
