Let's go ahead and make this a build thread so I can get the OA/rust removal experts in here. Will take better pictures once it's in my hands, but for now I'd like to start planning for initial clean up so I can collect what I need.

Obviously I've got my work cut out for me, but I wanted a project. Was planning OA for the whole frame, but reading some old threads has me questioning that approach. Obviously wanting to preserve paint and decals here. The fork is likely toast as far as the chrome goes, but we'll see. I've read 0.2% concentration for OA soak followed by baking soda soak for neutralization is the best approach for OA. Going to need a large soaking bin, not even sure if a kiddie pool would fit this frame. Thoughts and opinions on clean up appreciated as always.
