Soup's done!

I pulled the steering rod out of the Evapo-rust soup today - in spite of the temperature being lower than the 'desired working temperature', this stuff cleaned the steering rod off perfectly.

The steering wheel end is completely clean and ready for a plating.

I found a plating shop that's not far away so the next step is to gather up all of the stuff that needs to be plated and take it over to them...they claim to have a short turn around time.

I also took the front hubs apart and I'm currently soaking one of the brake rotors in the soup - I'll get them as clean as I can before putting everything back together.

Not a lot of progress but little things are happening to keep it all moving in the right direction.
