You can see in these pictures that the left corner lamp is way too far forward versus the correct factory original right fender. The left fender probably was NOS (no sign of a patch on the bottom corner where even desert cream puffs cars rust). This is also evident by the crooked GTO fender emblem, they must have drilled the three holes (NOS or non-GTO versions don't have the emblem holes) and got one hole a little off, rather than reeming out the holes a bit they forced the emblem in, distorting it in the process so the "O" is cockeyed.
This will all be addressed this winter. People ask me why I love survivor cars so much? My answer is that every restored car I come across makes me love survivors more ;-)
