Hi everyone, I'm at that point in my project where I am ordering alot of panels for my 68 charger, does anyone know where the best rear quarters and fenders are to order from?
I've heard mixed reviews from AMD, people love them and then someone says the whole outer wheel had to be cut and rerolled, so i'm really unsure who to go with at this point.
If any of you have any great advice, please do share.
This is my first restoration, so I'm learning as I'm going and hoping I can find the best fitment aside from original parts.

I have had great experiences with AMD. I have used a few others in the past but my best luck has been AMD. Is the AMD stuff perfect? No. Is it better? Yes. My main floor, trunk floor, frame rail, and rocker fit great with minimal work. The quarters needed wprk but still were awesome. The dutchman, trunk extensions, rear valence and corners needed cutting and sectioning but I anticipated some of that.

AMD is the best out there.  Goodmark are very thin and cheap Chinese crap.

If you want a full quarter the only option is AMD. Others (including AMD) sell "quarter skins" which only go to the upper body line or lower patches. No one else makes fenders. So your choice gets really easy...

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.

What the other guys said...AMD is not perfect, but the best panels available at the moment.
