Exactly, if 2 years (68 & 69) make it worthwhile for them to reproduce, wouldn't it make sense to do it at 1.5x-2x the price of the 68/69 fenders? How many people would be in at that price - 700-1000 per fender?

Part of the original reason for not reproducing them was that there were only 46,000 1970 Chargers built while there were about 95,000 68s and 90,000 69s. The 68 and 69 models were the most desirable for the most part too. The past 10 years, the 1970 has closed the gap on value. The Fast and Furious franchise may have made that possible.
So you're saying they'd need to charge 3-4x?

(Shhhhhh)
I've certainly messaged AMD about producing them. I even suggested they set up a pre-order to see the actual demand as it could change when folks have to put their money where their mouths are
.Has anyone tried the fiberglass ones from aarqualityfiberglass? I'm still planning on having a shop fix the chassis/body so I'd leave it to them if the current fenders are salvageable or must be replaced.
Ok, so I've spent the last couple months cleaning the garage and preparing to get the Charger. This past weekend I was finally able to get to Western NY and retrieve it. It took a bit of effort to get it on the trailer as it's not running. The front wheels/brakes were locked up so we dragged it 10-15 feet with come-a-longs until they finally started spinning. I'm sure we left a breadcrumb trail of rust from there to South Carolina, but it's finally here and in my garage. Now the fun begins. I know everyone loves pictures, so here's a dump of some of the pics!

Aw, man....Out here the outer body has minimal rust but the interiors are crumbling.
