? on fuse block restoration
 

My engine bay fuse block is one little chunk of corrosion.

Any recommendations/cautions on cleaning chemicals or mechanical methods?

I would very lightly media blast it, specifically, corn cob.

Wire wheel on a dremel then some tarn-x.

thanks for the input. I'm going to order some corn cob for later jobs, but was on a roll with this.

Ended up using Xylene and a Dremel with:
scrubber head
Plastic bristle head
micro grinder (to get inside the holes)
polisher head

Screws are soaking in PB Blaster.

Would make a great mini modern art exhibit

It's a good feeling to take something old and seemingly bad and make it look and operate as new again. There's a sense of accomplishment that you don't get from buying a new replacement. Anyone can swap a part but not everyone can can rebuild/refurbish existing parts and make them as good as new (or better). Looks good Shaun.

LOOKING GOOD...
 

Shaun, what a great job... You've sure raised the bar on detailing...

See ya,

Amen Brother!
