In my shop I have a rubberized apron, face shield with goggles and high cuffed PVC gloves whenever I get into heavy duty cleaning.

More parts out after soaking for a few days. It was interesting to see three different colours of paint that had been applied.

That is very typical of any equipment that was painted by the army. I recall the many times I sanded back the old paint on various ex-military vehicles , usually two or three distinctly different shades of green appear one after the other.

I just spotted another Horse FS on facebook ..

The project is coming along nicely.
