You are going to get a lot of "why would you bother" type comments...

Thinking a 993 based "Singer" type build? I am not educated enough in this area to add anything of value, but don't ppl use 993 fenders/bumpers on 964's? Probably possible.

Not possible. The hood line of the 993 has a higher profile than the earlier cars.

Anything's possible with enough time and money. But -- dear lord, why? Just get a 964.

Isn't the hood the same since 1974?

I'm curious to see how this idea would look.

It would look like one of the girls who is skinny sitting behind a desk, and then stands up and has a huge bedonkadonk....

If you do the front, the back must be done too.

Just custom mod the hood to be similar in appearance to a long hood early 911 and perhaps raise or change the corner lights somehow... Here's my "smoke some weed and complete a bad photoshop of what I think Singer would build out of a 993" idea
