From what I've seen the patches are all about the same. They take some work to fit up, but they were better than starting from scratch. I ordered mine from OPGI or Year One I don't remember which.

Here is my two cents. I installed them any years ago, they never looked correct, shape is off, the character lines are not crisp. They looked like a patch panel. I actually got a rust thru spot on one side after 10 years, on a car that never saw rain or salt, summer only good weather only. Save yourself time and money and buy a repo fender and cut of the bottom, graft in the brace some how (you must have the inner brace) so you can keep your 70 fender, or use the fender. Or look for a really good replacement fender (yes hard to find. fenders that look perfect on the A -Surface are pitted and rusted behind the inner brace becase of the braces and trapped dirt from the years.., the metal get thin and a samll pit, is really a hole to be or area where the metal is thin. I put on an NOS (not w/o fitment issues) and a good replacement fender, which I had to rework at the bottom because it looked perfect on the surface and yes it had thin rusted metal from the back side ...
