I'm pretty sure it's just a crap passenger side fender (or they are both bad). These came from Classic Industries I believe. Made in Taiwan. The measurement from core support the fender surface is lower on the passenger side by about a quarter inch, and the top side cowl mount it was a quarter inch higher than the driver side. I was able to drill out most of the spot welds and clamped the fender skin down on the bracket and it improved the fit near the cowl a smidge, but not enough.
