    The frame seemed to be extremely solid with little surface rust. I pulled what was remaining of the wiring. Looks like its time for a sidegrinder with wire brush!

    Going to pull the frame up to school in the morning. We have a seemingly endless supply of students who enjoy using grinders with wire wheels. So who am I to deprive them of this fun? I'll post pics as there is progress.

    Ahh, free labor. Can't argue with that. Make sure to tell them it's going into a museum so it has to be perfect. ;)

    Ha ha. Good for you. Makes me want to drop off my project at the local highschool and let them have at it.

    Nice day this afternoon so I got the Tub on a set of saw hoarses. With the help of a pair of vice grips, and penetrating oil, I was able to remove the reflectors, and the "buckets" that hold the spring loaded rubber stoppers. After some time with a wire brush on the bench grinder, I think I'm close to getting ready to tackle the body work on the tub. Nothing really to post pics of yet.
