If you're going new I have to say nation parts depot, http://npdlink.com/, from what I have seen its the best price around for body parts and other stock equipment. Also their customer service is great and the part quality is pretty good too.

Be careful buying sheet metal.Spend the extra $ on OEM replacement fenders.I purchased a fender from NPD and it took a lot of bending and banging to get it to fit where it looks even halfway decent.It seems the firstroll on the fender wasnt rolled at quite the same angle as the door was and it took quite a bit of cussing and banging and bending on the door and fender to make it fit well.
Hate to be the bearer of bad news but I havent been able to find an repopped OEM replacement fender for a 70.I was told by NPD that 70 repop oem fenders are not made yet.Now I'm not sureI believe that but you may want to cruise craigslist ebay or some other places like that for an oem fender even if it needs a little work

Somehow, cheap and quality don't fit into the same sentence.

I guess they have the art of 65-66 fenders and other repop parts down better than the 69-70, when I put the new fenders on my 65 they actually lined up pretty good, to bad I'm using it as a parts car for the rear end and its going to someone withfar betterwelding and metalworking skills.
