IS ANYONE GOING TO REPRODUCE 68-70 FRONT FENDERS? OR DOES SOMEONE ALREADY  AND I DONT KNOW ABOUT IT?

I do not know of anybody that is currently reproing any B body fenders. I know that Goodmark is going to be realeasing E body repro fenders soon,and hopefully they will make B body fenders also,but I don't think we will see them for a few more years.

Nope, they don't and I haven't even heard the slightest rumor that anyone might even do it. If it's done I'm sure Goodmark would be the place since they're the only ones who seem to have a budget for something like that. In previous conversations on the subject the matter of cost has come up. Since the Challenger rear quarters are in the $500 range you can bet the front fenders for a Charger would be higher (more complex to make due to more pieces).

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.

 Without counting  again there is about 12 individual peices that make up a 68 fender.I can see them being $7-800 anyway.

If they happen at all, it will be from Goodmark.  They're the only company out there with the resources to get these big complicated panels done.  I've had several conversations with Goodmark about this in the last few years, and it's the same story every time:

First they'll make the E-body fenders.  Then they'll make '68-69 Satellite/Roadrunner fenders.  Assuming both of those are good sellers, then they'll research the feasibility of making '68/69 Charger fenders next. 

Any Charger fenders will cost as much as their other new "good" repros they've been doing lately.  Which means you'll pay about $600-700 per panel, and they'll be made from the same quality of metal as their other full quarters & new fenders.

It's a Mopar, silly.  That means there's no correlation between parts in demand and parts actually getting reproduced. 
(Witness the rediculous situation with '68-69 Charger grille plastic.  And did we need the new repro '68/69 front valence panels half as badly as lots of other stuff they still don't make?)
