Wheel well...Interesting find...

I found out something that is REALLY very intersting to me, and you all might want to put it in your memory banks...

Although the wheel well opening on camaros and firebirds appear to be the same, the Camaro wheel openings are about 1 to 2 inches longer... I discovered this while looking at some pictures, and I noticed that the Camaro seems to be slighly more elongated than the firebird. I went to my camaro parts car, and took the front fender and matched it up to my firebird, only to find that they are indeed different.

I do NOT know if this pertains to the plastic inner fender shield or not, I would only assume so...

So with that, I thought I would share...
