Yup. I haven't had a chance to take it to a dealer for confirmation of
which parts are wrong, but my conclusion from looking at the car tells
me you're correct.

As I said in my earlier post, "It's good from afar, but far from good."
In looking at the glass half full, my son loves the car, he doesn't have
to worry about "being careful" of every scratch and ding, and only a
trained eye would catch the crappy repair job from the wreck. The engine
is in good shape and it'll be a fun project car for my son and me. In
the '70's, my dad and I would buy '60's models Mustangs, Camaros and
Firebirds and clean them up and sell them for a profit. To this day, I
still love cars and (almost) everything about them. I say "almost"
because I was out trying to change the headlamp assembly (to no avail)
with my manicured nails only to have black gunk on my fingers 5 days
later! *That* I can live without!

Now, the back lights were a different story. I was able to accomplish
that,
chipped nail overlooked...
