I hadn't really thought of it that way Frank. Originally I thought it would have been better if they had welded the patches on, but now that you mention it, the rivets made it much easier to get them off. I just had to drill out about 500 rivets and then fill the holes with weld. I still can not understand why 90% of the patches were even on this jeep... there was no need in my opinion.

Good luck with your project. It would be good to see some photos of what you are dealing with.
