Is this some type of joke that I do not understand? I don't even understand what the OP is talking about and what the problem is. What do "bean counters" have to do with this?

There are some serious issues with the fitment of these panels, from the factory, that was caused by GM being cheap.

GM was producing twice as many cars that the assembly line was originally designed for ....and using an assembly method (i.e. somewhat hand-built bodies) which was more intensive than the assembly line could bear. When you get into that triangle of Time (speed)/Cost/Quality ..something's going to give. GM couldn't raise prices unrealistically, they weren't about to turn away orders, ...so guess what suffered?
GM knew it need a modern plant and modern assembly process, hence the Bowling Green plant.
You saw a similar level of sloppiness with late 70's Trans Am's too due to similar factors.
