    Does anyone know what these are (and where they go)?

    All I know is they have something to do with the bumper and/or fenders.

    (the car is a '73)

    On the top of the inner-fender apron where the fender rest's on. Closest to the cowl. It its a "guard" for the hood, or atleast thats what I would assume it would be :)

    They go on the shoulders of the cowl (both sides), just under the fender, with the rubber knub pointing up and away from the cowl.

    Thanks, guys.
    Am I correct in assuming that the fenders need to be removed to install them?
