I’ve been working on some little projects with the car, and just finished changing up the battery topper. I stripped the red R59 details and repainted them yellow to be the correct Y55, and I found an original Delco Eye to replace the fake one. Cut the sight plastic to be flush, repainted the top, and removed the threads so it could pop right in.
Seems like Delco Energizer was unpainted in ‘68 but I’ve seen the text both painted (in a photo from Hot Rod Mag) and unpainted. Decided to paint the letters as it looks pretty sharp.
One more engine bay detail improved
