Very bad news.........
Found the battery sitting kinda weird the other day. Sort of angled down on one side. I pulled the battery to reveal this......
Completely gone! I think the battery leaked. It has been dragging a bit when starting... I assumed it was due to the colder weather.
The frame rail is good, as is the surrounding structural stuff... looks like just the bottom sheetmetal is gone.
I've sprayed the area with chain lube, in hopes of keeping the air from contacting it and making it worse.
Looks like there is finally gonna be some body shop time for the '73. Might as well do a complete paint job and find a windshield to replace the cracked one in there now.
DAMN!
