What errors have you found with your cars build,
Colour, accessories, missing bits, what have you found and thought nothing of it but it nags you to have an answer

The roof to windshield frame is pinch welded. Along the top I found they must have worked from the center of the top over to the drivers side then up the side and around the corner. Where that operation met there was a bulge in the seam that should have been ground off. It was the cause of a leak in the windshield that plagued my car for 35 years! It was just enough to throw gasket and glass out of alignment.

Ok no one is going to post, my first car 68 RT after paint Rust work etc, when putting front screen clips were wrong , cowl panel original, or some one had done a damn fine job of replacing it, these were
the bottom ones, ended up using ones from a similar body year but Plymouth
The proper ones too short, it also had full tint windows but code on tag was for screen only, body had a few odd things not installed, like the factory rear muffler , mount that's welded on, ? Both were screwed on

My 67 has 1968 vent wing handles.  Late May build.
Not sure if that is a mistake or simply a change in the line.
Found that interesting though.

My friend bought a Mustang a few years go.  It came with a Ford engine in it for some reason.
