Feels like I'm missing something - inner fender extensions to the firewall?

[Clever Idiot]

I have the steel Chevelle inner fenders mounted, and there's a bit of a gap on the back side near the firewall. Are there extensions that are supposed to go here that I'm forgetting? It's been probably 15 years since I took off the front stuff. Pics for reference.

Ah! Beautiful. Thank you! They look metal - are they? I'm sure stock was plastic; I'm just curious.

They are plastic like the originals and will complete the installation of the inner fender wells. They install from underneath. One bolt to the frame and 2 to the lower part of the fender well.

Don’t remember seeing these on my 71. Guess I’d better take a peek 👀... I might have more work to do ...

Thank you for the info. I was wondering where they went. My car didn't have them or the fender support braces as shown in the pictures.

As someone posted awhile back, tighten carefully, they Crack easily unless the quality has improved.
