I've seen a 1981 trans am with a 1973 nose transplanted on it. The owner said that all I would have to do is make a few new brackets to mount the fender's and nose. It's something I'd definitely want to try. Does anyone have any tips or tricks?

Am pretty sure the leading edge of the hood changed shape after 1976. So you will need a 1970-76 hood to match the contours of the 1973 fascia -

All you'll need is a 70-73 front clip including the core support and spoilers.
Fenders and hood are the same.
EDIT: Here's a 79 with a 70-73 clip on it...

all depends on how close you want the lines to match up
fenders and hood are not identical 70-81
70-73 fenders do not have the provision for the later model front valance brackets - though they can modified
70-76 hoods have a slight curve at the front to blend with the rounded nose & headlamps
