This is more of a reproduction parts fail than parts assembly snafus. It's the quality (lack thereof) of the part maker, not the assembler here. But related to QC? Yes. Bean counters may close the fences in, but you still got a yard to work with. Quality in assembly is different than quality of the part manufacturer.

I know what you mean but I dont think Im going to mess with them. If it makes it worse I wont be able to send them back.
Im calling the seller first thing in the AM.
Who did you buy them from? So I don’t make the same mistake when I buy mine.

Same exact length? Almost wonder if something like f-body pieces but got mixed up with g-body somewhere along the way, etc.

These are the ones from G body parts. Fit was perfect and required no modifications. I just did not use the screws they came with as they were the wrong look/type.

Just a quick followup on the plate issue. Seller took them back. No questions asked.
Since I only needed one I found a NOS GM plate on ebay. Fits perfect. Interior is done.
