Also pick up a pair of safety goggles. Those wire wheels can throw off some mean little shards :thumbs:

I got to do some work today!!!
I tackled the case and prepping it for reassembly. It might not look like a lot but it was very rewarding to me...

Original condition (after oven cleaner and 'other' chemical cleaning methods)

Cleaned side (almost finished)

Tomorrow I maybe able to finish all of the prep and put a coat of paint on it!!!
