Well, i'm going to call this thing finished for now.

There are a few things I am going to work on or procure over the coming months:
Semi-Gloss OD Paint on the underside of the Hood,
Ziebart Body Plugs & Decal for Dash,
New Canvas Seat Cushions,
Restore the Radios.

I finally had the four patches of 503-321 Olive Drab painted on. As mentioned before, I knowingly inverted the Greens in the Cam Pattern. This was original paint in a can dated from 1993. Despite a thorough shaking, mixing, use of a quality reducer, and a bit of Flattener added, it still came out looking almost Satin. That being said, the more sun it gets, the more it seems to be flattening out.









Added a few more details to the dash etc. Since the Jeep was basically rebuilt, I put in a fresh Speedo, so I put an "Add On" decal on the dash to denote the previous mileage, as well as a "Unit Servicing Recorder" for the dates and mileages for future fluid changes etc:







Also discovered a cheap easy way to secure Radios to the Power Trays by drilling a small hole through a clamp and rib on the MT-1029, and then installing a Padlock so clamp cannot be unscrewed:
