I know I have read about NOS panels having bad body lines before, but never read how they were fixed or handled?
Or am I better off just ordering some AMD front fenders and sell these GM NOS ones? It is not like my car has many GM panels left on it anyway.
PLEASE give me your thoughts! Just not sure which way to go...

Just a thought here but why do you think the GM panels are wrong?? It is more likely that the aftermarket parts are wrong. Unless you have matched them up with original fenders and then the line do not match? Any way how good are you at metal work? If the line need to be sharpened up you can do it but it takes lots of time and patience! I would say as others have, put them up for sale on eBay and then use the money for other parts.
One other thing I would do before you sell them, check out the aftermarket ones to see the lines on those match your other sheet metal?
