Cuda passenger fender

Best place to get a replacement front right fender for my 1970 Cuda? After that finding someone to paint on install is a challenge.

I'm guessing any answer depends on what you consider "Best", where you live or geographic range your willing to travel.

Let's just focus on the fender.  Who makes the best quality fenders?  Or are they all made by the same company but sold by different vendors?

Well, I have posted quite a bit on this topic.  I bought a pair of AMD fenders from Roseville (best price and shipping) for my '70 Cuda.  While fitment was decent, I was not happy with the overall end result.  I found the gauge of the Chinesium metal to be MUCH thinner, and they got minor pressure dents from breathing on them.  The passenger side would have to be slightly modified at the header panel as they folded the metal over the mounting hole enough to not be able to get a bolt started.

I ended up hunting down a couple of decent originals and am having them patched up.  You can tell they are much heavier gauge simply by the weight.  Of course it is more work, and slightly more expensive, but worth it to me.

In lieu of original, I think AMD is as good as you will get

The driver side AMD fender on mine is mostly good, but slightly off as well. It made the front left corner a little bit tight to the hood/header panel corner, and the lower area where it connects to the valance is slightly off as well too, but it's what to expect from reproductions

I have an original passenger side that I could sell. No shipping. Would need to pick up in Baltimore area. $300.
