Either Ames or PY tech advised me that they quit using the splash guards early in the 71 model year. That if my inner fenders didn't have holes then my car came without. Based on that advice I didn't order any splash guards, and won't be installing any....

Well, It looks like we have figured out where the aft splash shields go, but now that the car is assembled, I dont think we can get them in. It really irritates me that a classic car restoration shop that has charged us $65,000 in body work and labor, and is supposed to be one of the best in the Salt Lake Valley, didnt let us know that these splash shields needed to be installed before assembly! I could go on and on but this is not the place for my rant.

Thanks for the pictures, they sure helped to get things figured out. Also, Dad would have sworn there were no aft splash shields on his car, but low and behold, the staple holes are there.
