Wish me luck, folks! I'm going down this same route! Looking forward to finding the resto' videos and what cuts corrosion on ninety year old cast aluminum.
Edit: Thank you John F. Dean, glad to be here--and Hello Robert Ray, Thanks for the idea. There was someone talking about cleaning aluminum with plain ol' vinegar, and I thought to myself, 'no, there's gonna hafta be something with more of a bite to it'. Muriatic Acid may be thing I need to research.
