80 - 96 sheetmetal should interchange, just the rear wheel wells may not matchup. I think there are two styles 80-86 and 87-96 for the wheel wells. I think that to swap clips you'll need to get the radiator core support too, but I'm not sure.

When I mentioned the two styles I was just refering to the wheel wells on the quarter pannels. I think on the rear quarter pannels the 87-91 wheel wells and the the 92-96 wheel wells are the same.

If you had say an 83, and swapped the front clip then the wheel wells would look different. All the other body lines will line up.

The tops are made of fiberglass. Find a person that knows how to paint it and you should be fine. Look for corvette bodyshops or marine painters (boats are fiberglass too). Make sure they use some kind of flex additive because the tops do flex a little.
