So i got an email from Dantes saying AMD have retooled 70-71 dart fenders. What the ??

They make dart fenders ???, but still no 70 charger fenders. :RantExplode:

Pretty sure they would sell more 70 charger front fenders vs Dart fenders.

I seriously doubt that, being that A-bodies are significantly cheaper to build than a 2nd gen Charger especially a 70 Charger. :Twocents:
Sold my Charger unfortunately....never got it finished.

Start a petition and send it to them.

Mopar Nut

Wasn't there like 40,000 70 Chargers built compared to 120,000 70 Darts. Could be the reason for the demand of the Darts fenders.
"Dear God, my prayer for 2024 is a fat bank account and a thin body. Please don't mix these up like you did the last ten years."

With as cheap as a lot of mopar guys are I don't see A body guys paying $500 for a dart fender. I do see 70 fenders bringing in the 600-700 sticker price.

dunno

Going to work with what i got. Already bought two drivers side front fenders. Just going to take the two and make one.

Moderate demand for a high-production model > high demand for a low-production model.

what are you guys wining about? try finding ANY sheet metal for a 3rd gen, apart from quarters! sure AMD will produce ash trays and glove box doors for 68-70 a/b bodies before any 3rd gen stuff! I've been trying to find iner/outer rockers for 2 years now!

Well, at least they are making us Rear quarters...Now we need fenders.

You guys are just going to have to be patient.  They will make your pieces.  I had to wait, so can you. :2thumbs:

What?  You mean they actually made chargers after 1970 ? :nana:
lol

All joking aside i'd take a 3rd gen over a 1st gen charger.

Here is what AMD is currently working on.  It seems they're giving the a body guys some lovin

Dodge/Plymouth 
67,68, 69, 70-71 Dart/Demon Fenders 
70-71, 72-76 Duster/Dart Sport Fenders   
Many A-Body Moldings 
67-72 Dart Door Skins   
70-76 Duster/Dart Sport/Demon Door Skins
70-74 E-Body Windshield Molding Set   
67-76 A-Body Lower Radiator Support   
A-Body Floor Wiring Cover Set   
70-74 E-Body Rocker/Frame Lower Splash Shields   
67-76 A-Body Frame Rails   
70, 71-74 Barracuda Inner Rocker Panels   
70, 71-74 Challenger Inner Rocker Panels   
68-70 B-Body Rocker/Frame Lower Splash Shields   
67-76 A-Body Torsion Bar Crossmember
 
Just a suggestion, how about starting a 70 fender petition?  It'd give them an idea of how big the demand is for those fenders from restorers and the Daytona replica guys

again great if you've got a A or E body ,not one 3rd gen piece in there   :brickwall:

Put a wanted add out.  :shruggy:

I put one out a couple weeks ago. Then there is the shipping cross border mess. Wish I could lay down $700 for a new one and be done with it.

Last 2 drivers fenders i bought just based on pics. Last one was said to be mint in primer. They had to actually putty the inside of the fender too as it was so warped.

Only thing left is the drivers side fender before it can be blocked. Its messy.
Comming from what my car had gone threw that says a lot.

surmanajaja

probably if they ever appear, they will be far from perfect, and the price of good originals will just go even higher than they are now...   :brickwall:

Why do '70's have to look so cool!

charger_fan_4ever

We seriously were considering buying a 69 fender and try to make a 70 out of it. By the time i buy a $700 amd fender and all the time involved might be trading 4 quarters for a dollar.

The current fender i have is a warped mess of shruken/streched metal.

Found one about 10 hours away guy says it has bondo over damage and rust. Sigh probably junk too.

I am making Daytona fenders out of the AMD fenders if you have good front edges you could just section them onto the AMD fenders. Alot less headache than making any 70 Charger fender nice.

How far back you figure you'd need on the donor 70 fender? So depressed with the fender have not looked at it in forever. Pretty sure the front corner is kind of mangled to top things off.
