I did end up with some 70 fenders and a core support, the fenders were as Paul commented, they didn't fit too well along the door opening and rocker panel, which wasn't too bad to deal with.
Also, the inner fender (also repops) needed the mount holes enlarged, and everything shuffled to fit good. It's not 100%, but they wouldn't work well out-of-box. The core support was a different story, the whole top plate was shifted to one side for one. The body guy spent a couple days on it, and the hood gaps are terrible. It wouldn't even mount over the frame horns out of box, it was that bad. I needed to get it out of that shop for a number of reasons and will still have to address that at some point. The hood is repop too, and no way will the hood line up using the OE type cowl seal, it just won't go down far enough. Could have probably worked the doors & fenders to make it happen but again, I had to get it out of that shop. The gap on the sides are pretty wide, but no one else seems to point it out or say anything to me. I see it, and it drives me crazy. On the core support, I would have to say don't even buy the repop. Maybe I got a bad one, but have heard a couple others comment that they had issues too, so would say go OE if you can, even if you have to fix one. . .
