There is some pitting in the plate and I'm hoping that the aluminum foil treatment will minimize that to some extent. Looks pretty good from a few feet away though.

The chainring and the drive side crank are mostly cleaned up. Still some fine steel wool work to be done here too and I'm debating what to do about a scratch on the crank arm - probably I'll just buff it and leave it alone.
