troutlips, Scott1 posted sometime ago about using a clear 3M adhesive to protect the lower quarters of his old 98 1/2. You might contact Scott or check out his website.
As an aside, where are you hunting. I leave in 409hrs. 28 minutes for Montrose Co. But then who's counting. I'm about to bust a gut, to use a old Southern expression. Guess it's time to repack.
Good Luck, Ronnie
