There's another neat trick!

It's called a wireless printer.....and I'm sending this info to it now so that I will be ready to rebuild the headlight parts soon!

Thanks, Men!

I started this project today. Except for a few rusted fasteners, it was straightforward..............UNTIL I tried to remove the canister from the hood gap. No can do.

My plan is to tie the hood vertically to an overhead beam in the garage, then detach the prop strut to gain an extra inch between the clip and the hood. Hopefully that'll leave enough clearance to get those fat cans out of the car. Any other ideas, I'll sleep on them tonight.

And thanks again to the OP for the info; that plus the AIM have made this easier than it probably would've been. At least so far.
