inner fender fit issues

No pics, yet, had a busy day away from here. When I got back, though, I sat down with both replacement inner fenders and a tape measure, and a large flat area.

I think I found the problem with inner fender "b", the one that is in better condition but lousy fit. It appears that the angles on the inner fender differ greatly from the other one, the one that is crappier(tech term) but fits better. Especially, the angle at which the top lip(where the fender bolts on) is in relation to the rest of the fender, it isn't off by much, but it's off and that can throw the whole thing out of whack. It appears to me that the whole thing has been sorta crushed flatter, maybe in shipping, who knows. Now, I have to sit down and try to get it back in some semblance of shape, without ruining it.

I even lay them on top of each other, and there, the difference was immediately apparent.

Oh well, back to the drawing board.
