[DeTomaso] Grease splatter guards on driver side.

[Rob Dumoulin]

I quickly figured out that if I jacked the car up, I had just enough room
to slip the guard between the fender and drive shaft, then tilt up to
position it under the shift rod only to find out the holes on the guard
were off by about 1/8 inch.  After removing and enlarging the holes and
refitting, a test drive showed the the bottom of the guard rubbed the u
joint on the rear bottom edge and had to be pried out some.  All is good
now, but the guard got scratched up a bit during the trial and error.

I don't remember who I got the guards from over a year ago, but if it was
you Bill, nice job except for the slightly-off hole on one of them.
