Re: I'm legit again, my "new" '68 LB

Yea.... there are some holes that need to be covered. LOL

I will be getting a new windshield someday, no hurry since the cracks are far right. Getting a junkyard mirror will have to wait, but for now I rigged this up. I got the mirror for a '57 Chevy that I had, because that mirror was small; the plastic housing self-destructed since then, but I kept the glass. Some scrap steel, cedar block, 3M tape, this should work good enough.


The battery has been going dead, thought I had a short. Thought it might be a good idea to have NAPA check the alternator before investigating further. Wasn't putting' out! I'm taking pictures of everything before removing, good thing for a hack like me.


New alternator.


I was thinking of taking off the front trim around the headlights, to unbend. But after prying up about an 1/8", looked like they aren't snap in.

Yikes, bolts way up inside? Think I'll pass.
