I decided to tackle rebuilding the headlight assemblies tonight.  What a nightmare.  Had 4 screws break off in the aluminum assemblies.  They are small #8 screws so using an extractor is a waste of time.  I broke the only extractor I had small enough to attempt it.  I would up drill them out and then using JB Weld to fill the metal and then I later drilled and tapped the JB Weld.

I came back out to the shop to finish cleaning up the headlight assemblies.  Then I sanded the JB Weld down into the shape of the original metal and use a #8 screw tap and set it all back up right.  I found my vacuum advance and installed it on my distributor and then worked on some fiberglass.
