Boy, you weren't kidding. The driver side turn signal is 3/4 inch closer to the fresh air duct opening compared to the passenger side. You would think that after sanding the body about a dozen times over and spraying it with Slick Sand, sealer and paint that I would have noticed that before.

Too funny! Dan, I studied every centimeter of my car for long periods of time and never noticed it. I read about it (can't remember where now) but remember going out to the garage to see if it was true. I felt the same way - couldn't believe I didn't notice it.

I don't believe ERA has any intention of taking that out of their mold - that's the way the original car was that they patterned the 427 after. I don't know if that was from some damage repair of if it was built that way originally. Regardless, it adds character to the car...
