'79 splash guards

I think this fix might be worthy of this post. My driver side splash guard in front of the tire that protects the headlight and horns was missing when I bought the car. I checked on buying new ones and they were a bit pricey. I remember seeing a post with this idea so I decided to give it a try. Fortunately I had the passenger side one for a pattern, however, that one is in pretty bad shape. I made a cardboard pattern first and used it to trace onto the storage container. Its a hair bigger than the original one so I could trim it back. I also decided not to mess with insulting foam around the edges so I wanted it tight. So far so good, but the true test will be next time it rains (tomorrow).
