Anyone have issues with AMD 71 Demon fenders fitting? I have heard the gaps are not good and body lines off
 
AMD is about the best there is out there, so your alternatives are pretty much "0".
I realize that it's not any help, but the fit and gaps were never that good on these things even from the factory. It takes quite a bit of work to get them even close to what you would consider acceptable, even with NOS parts if you can find them.

Listen to him. The AMD panels I have used have been EXCELLENT! You won't find any better. Go with them. I would bet that at the very worst, any misalignment is something you can easily tweak yourself.
And I have something to say about NOS parts. Many people don't know this, but a lot of NOS body panel parts were ordered from Chrysler back in the day and returned because they fit poorly. Then they sat on a shelf somewhere gathering dust for a zillion years until someone looking to sell them at a profit buys them. I have bought a few NOS parts that weren't exactly the cat's meow but better than Chinesium junk.

where in Indiana are you? I have a pair of fenders from AMD that I couldn't use because of poor fitment. You're more than welcome to try them to see if they will fit your project. I had planned to whip them into submission eventually then offer them for sale but I havent gotten into it yet.
 
They shipped me the first 69 Dart fenders before they were offered in production. The fit was spot on but there were a couple of differences I found that were corrected. As any part that is pressed in a die the first batches are usually good, the later ones are not as good because the dies wear. And as said above, a lot of NOS parts were cast off from the factory then put in the domain...
