      Both front fenders are new. However, my body guy probably would have caught anything too far out. Here is how it went down at his shop.

      Hi Dave here are the replacement panels I have for the 67
      (opens door box)

      This door is 1/4" too short.

      What?

      (points at end of door) this door is too short.

      What are you high?

      (goes and gets a factory stock door lays it on the floor next to mine and measures it) See, its too short. Get me another one.

      Holy crap.

      He did this on about 3 other panels and made me reorder them or find OEM stuff. Needless to say he knows Camaros. The reason I chose him was because when I brought him the shell he picked probably 50 things that were "wrong" on the car. Something as far off as that fender would have to be would never fly with him. When I inspected the car after paint, my only complaint was one radius of the rear fender was not quite right and didn't match the rear of the door. Its close, but my anal eye can see it. He spilt the rear quarters and reworked them, this one could just not get perfect for what I'm spending. He is just that way. I'm pretty confident I'm going to find a combination of little things. Spindle, arms, spring, subframe, I'll take it apart and see. When I got the car, the body guy said hey these control arms are wrong. So far, everytime I doubt him I've been wrong.
