I'm currently in the process of taking my 69 apart to get re-painted. The fenders that were on it have some filler and i want to order a new set. I'm new on here and I was wondering who you guys thought makes the best fenders? On another occasion i bought cheap jap fenders for another car i had and they were just a headache. thanks

Well goodmark makes the best repro fenders. Maybe GM still makes them for 69?? Otherwise look on ebay or the classifieds here for NOS fenders. Most repro's will need a little tweeking.

Whatever you do, don't buy repro's!!!!! The lower price tag may be tempting, but they're not even close.

Always get NOS, or some off a junk car. I don't think goodmarks are that great either.

the ones that were on the car are decent, some mud on the them, but i wanted to replace them. I'm really not sure where to buy new ones at all
