Headlight Help
So as one thing always leads to another.
I had to replace my 74 bumper covers so while I was in there decided to drill out some broken bolts rebuild actuators ect.
My drivers headlight assembly sits low to the hood so I figured I would move the pivot mount up a little.
Trying to get to the outboard pivot bolts is no fun at all but I could not line it up it looks like the frame section behind the drivers head light assembly is rusted out.
Here are a few pics.
Is there a way to repair this or has anyone repaired and how did you as it looks like it is bonded to the glass?
Is the frame section for sale anywhere?
Should I try and repair now or go at it later?
Thanks

I am also going to clean up everything else while I am in this far.
I would like to remove the vacuum resevoir as it will open up some space and I can get it blasted and painted. Any wisdom on the removal before I begin?
Also I have been trying to search down a good supply for body clips the 1/4 ones plus the ones for trim screws as well as screws and suck but the normal places only seem to sell individual kits specific. Anyone know of a good place to get these things in bulk?
