The measurements from the outside of the rear tires to the lip of the fenders differs by 3/8th” when comparing the left and right sides. (At their closest thevdistance is less than 1” on the drivers side and ~1 3/8” on the passenger side.
I never noticed it before. Suspension ears are ok, camber looks ok. Is this normal? |

not unusual in these cars, hand built and lots of variation.
