What the heck are these....
...and where do they go?
Actually, I believe they are some sort of splash shields (L and R) that came off the nose of my 71 when it was disassembled. However, I can't seem to find a good picture of them in the assembly manual.
Any help on reinstalling these would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

They bolt on to the frame just behind the front tire and in front of the firewall. Another way of putting it...
Right side under the aluminum reservoir for the cooling system(if you have one)
Left side under the vacuum reservoir/brake master cylinder

Thanks for the replies.
So does this mean the flat side would bolt to the frame and the curved part would go around the inner fender well? If so, where does that put the side with the weather stripping?

I think this was last of the unknown parts from a disassembly that took place more than 10 years ago. Of course, I'm sure I'll have a lot more questions as the reassembly progresses.
Thanks again for all the feedback!

You iz welcome
Actually, my 68 was disassembled when I got the car, so I know exactly what you're hassling with
asked lots of ?s, did lots of reading, and this was all before I knew about the Forum!
Glad to have helped
