Default Re: 1970 Nova NOS quarters

The GM replacement panels that I've seen do not have the full "phone hook" shape in them. Some also have a door jamb vent hole in there.

Basically, GM probably used the same huge progressive stamping dies for the quarters from 68-74, but changed certain stations as the design changed. To make service parts later on, they probably only changed the die stations that they needed to.

Therefore, the sail panels are just like they always were, but the door jamb detail isn't like the previous production parts because it really didn't matter for functionality. Make sense?
