Just an updated picture after the work on the rim yesterday. Here's what the tires look like on the rims. The tires seem to be just what we hoped for. The next step will be to have the rims powder coated. At least they will sand blast them so John doesn't have to fight the California spiders again!
Today's hour of work actually turned into three hours of work. John decided to remove the gummy, black, unidentifiable substance from under and behind the seat in the cab. These are all "after" shots...it's looking a hundred times better already.
Sure there's still rust, but it's CLEAN rust!
Okay, here's the cursed, black....whatever it is. It does not want to come off. It's like some type of parasite that is perfectly happy camping out on the truck. We want it gone. The wire brush appears to be losing the battle at this point, as proven by the bits of wire that have shot off and embedded themselves into John's flesh. Any suggestions? Tracy is staging chemical warfare next. Certainly, she must have learned SOMETHING from all of those "What Takes Rust Off a Nail the Best?" Science Fair projects she has graded in the past...

I was reading about something called "Super Iron Out MultiPurpose Rust Stain Remover," but that may be to remove rust stains like from bathtubs, not actual rust. I think anything that would remove gunk that old would also remove flesh from your hands and cells from your lung linings, so be careful.
Here's my solution, get six small putty knifes and rotate all your friends and relatives on scrapping detail.
Then when it's done reward them iwth honorable mention on the blog and a bottle of water.
I'd volunter but after years of working with it i am allergic to ZEEBART (thats what the coating is) but i could assit in supervision.
And write a report on how effective any products anyone wants to test out. Wavier required of course.

Maybe heel marks from someone on assembly line. Try brake or carb cleaner, and yes those little wires do hurt.
