>>>I don't think they were stamped.   As I said, I saw (several times) the 
clamshell molds which would be used to smash a flat piece of metal into the 
shape of the side of a GT5-S fender, which would then be welded to a 
standard fender.   I know I have photos of these things on my hard drive somewhere 
but can't seem to find them....
