Bottom bracket pieces are here, many thanks again @Deal4Fuji! Paint cleanup hasn't gone as planned, evidently all those years in the weather has softened the paint and even light rubbing with the #0000 steel wool and WD-40 removes the blue topcoat. I've used this on much older bikes and toys and got pretty agressive with no paint loss but not so with Dave so I'll be switching methods on that part of the rehab. He's going to be a bit more rustic looking than intended and he was already going to be quite rustic. Probably more along the lines of "urban camouflage" than beausage......
