Not sure where you plan on mounting your shield in a '95. I know in mine, both the inlets are still behind the headlight so I can't imagine too much debris getting in there. Dust yes, maybe even a little moisture. You can always throw a piece of screen or mesh against the core support when you go wheelin' just to be safe though.

Can you name some good places that would have sheet metal available like that? I'm not sure where I would look.

Taymak, could you post some specs of what you did and used? I have a 95 blazer and i think they are both the same.



Thanks
