I looked at a 71 parts car out back built 1-8-71 and it has two as well. Could have been a new for 72 thing and late 71 cars started getting them when 71 inventory was depleted.

It's a shame we buy reproduction parts. Expecting nice stuff and open a box full of disappointment.

For the replies telling you should be happy or they are better than your originals. Sorry but when some of us pay money for an item described or shown in a picture. Some of us expect better. Trying to screw together a nice car and all these pieces do not fit or function correctly. No wonder a new car from today is better than some of our old cars.

Anyways Fab64. Thanks for the update. The world is changing and this is like a google review.

Pretty typical across most of their lines, even the more popular ones like Cashmaro's. 85-90% is close enough for them twocents

Some of the “good enough” comments baffle me. Not to insult you guys but, have you restored a car? A lot of aftermarket parts need massaging to fit. I get it, but that piece is garbage. Reminds me of those horrid vacuuformed Dashco E body door panels that at one time were the only thing out there. Just because it’s the the only alternative doesn’t make it any less garbage. Classic Auto Industries is completely hit and miss. Some of their stuff is great, other stuff, wow, really? I bought a set of wheel lip moldings from them. I purchased the “better” set they sell. They were awful. Not remotely close to fitting. I called and the guy on the line said, “yeah, I really hate selling these because every single set comes back.”

Point of this long post is this: keep buying the aftermarket’s “good enough” crap and they’ll keep producing crap. Thank you for posting those. It’s posts like this that make Moparts so valuable to us all.
