Working the corners and body line take special attention and patience to save the factory finish from going thin. Remember, this paint is almost 40 years old.

We used laquer thinner, scotchbrite pads, and a lot of elbow grease. Careful not to take too much of the olive drab green off to cause the factory paint to go thin

Here is the Loctite brand. I'm sure there are many others out there. A 12 ounce jug goes a long way on small detailed stuff especially if you get some of the scale off beforehand. I think these jugs run between 4 & 6 dollars. On the patch panel, maybe a inch or two relief cut in that bottom corner and a little heat will get it in there nicely. Then you may be able to weld your relief cut rather than an additional piece. Just a thought. Have a good one.

Looking up at some more broken wires. I'm guessing at it may be the 4wd light for my dash?

The clay did preserve everything nicely. This is the left inner frame rail. I was unable to see it just a short time ago.

I'm almost afraid to chisel it all off, thinking the drivetrain might fall on my head

During an archaeological dig in the Georgia clay, I was able to find a 1980 4x4.
