Re: 79 CJ5 Frame Preservation
 

It would be a bit like trying to fish a length of Romex up through a
wall without a fishtape, but yeah, it would work better than nothing.
I'd thought about those wands I hear that the rust proofing guys use to
spray inside body panel spaces. In the end I decided that my CJ would
probably never again see a salted, slushy road or not be parked in a
garage and did what I could and ignored the rest.
