The fender droop is easy to fix. Install the fender w/o extension, brace a block of wood in the opening. Floor jack the block until the droop is straight. By '88 when we did the '67 Z/28, RH fenders were so poorly formed they wouldn't fit on the cowl.
Sold many new GM parts back in my CPX days '83-'97. Fender fit was only one of many quality problems. '67 Camaro fender emblems were bent, '69 rally-sport emblems clear coated over dirt, '69 SS emblems painted the wrong color. '68-'69 Camaro console lid was awful. '70-'72 Chevelle fender moldings were wrinkled. They also freely substituted parts-order '68 Z/28 rocker covers and they sent '69s; '69 Camaro 396 badges were swapped for '70 Nova. The deep-groove alternator pulley was neither fish nor fowl; an incorrectly plated '67 w/o part number. In general, all chrome was awful.
Be very careful with NOS parts.
