I would buy AMD over Goodmark, you can always sell the OEM ones for decent money... that would make the price AMD price reasonable. 

7E-Bodies

@Drive In Cars for what it's worth, I've done body work with both.  I went with Goodmark on a 73 Barracuda, replacing fenders, quarters and trunk pan (Because AMD wasn't going to fill my order as they'd stopped stamping fenders).  They fit like gloves with very little tweaking.  I used a set of AMD door skins on the same car and they were nothing short of perfect.  I do think AMD is thicker steel and a better product, but I'm currently replacing a drivers quarter panel on a valuable 70 Challenger and it's been quite the "challenge".  AMD has cost me countless hours in stitch welding where they stopped short and adding bend to where they underbent body lines.  However, in looking back, I'd do it the same way.  AMD is just heavier steel in my opinion.  I eventually get them perfect before welding them on.  I can't much speak for 71 gilled fenders though.
