1970 fender patch panels

Is there a good aftermarket brand of lower fender patch panels for a 1970 Cutlass/442 ?

If you are talking about the front fenders, there are definitely two different versions. I got a pair from Autobody Specialties that are MUCH better quality than the typical Chinesium ones. These are the same thickness as the OEM fenders and stamping is much crisper and closer to original contours. And yeah, the price is about 50% higher than that of the crappy ones. I suspect these originally came from AMD, but I'm not sure about that.

Thank you, don't mind spending a little extra for quality.
