Yes, the Evaporust works really well on clean parts.  Have to clean and degrease parts first.  In the pictures I posted you can see that the wheels had been sitting for a long time.  Lots of dust and there was some rust on there.  Took about 90% of that off....great at removing any mild surface rust.  Anything deeper is usually a problem with chrome no matter what. 

In the photos I posted here you can see the before and after of what the wheels looked like after being dipped in Evaporust.  Good results...but not perfect.  Im pretty happy with the results but still working to see if I can get these to look better.  Will be trying dry ice blasting next week on them and see what that does. 

Im working on a 69 Shelby here now that was stored for many many years.  Wondering if anyone has used any decent products to clean the center of the wheels.  I tried something called Sonax and that did not do anything.  Thinking I need something that is acidic to clean in to the pores. 
Below is side by side photos of what I started with.  I dipped each wheel in Evaporust which made a huge difference but some of the wheel centers are not as bright and clean as others.

Looking for a nice clean rust free rear decklid for a 1968 fastback.  What I have now is one that is rusted along the seam so looking for a nice replacement.  Text or call if you have something to sell.

Listed locally here in Phoenix but figure I would list on the forums as well.  Can easily arrange shipping if needed. 

Ford C6 transmission out of a 1967 Mustang. Would work for other years of Mustangs (1967 to 1973), Cougars, Fairlanes and probably some truck applications. No stripped holes for starter or broken mounting tabs. Includes torque converter as well.
Selling this as a restorable core.
The valve body needs to be redone - it has an issue with a sticking valve. Can be rebuilt or replaced. Including two extra valve bodies for the rebuild in case they are needed.

$600

Ok I do see differences now...especially in the photo that Pete posted here and Jeff points out in his.  I will have to take a closer look at what I have when I return back from Oregon.  Seems some differences can be from wear over the years and other differences are just from day 1 the way they were made.

My dilemma here is looking at reproducing a stamp to make these - but wanting to do it as accurate as possible and just doing one variation. 

It looks to me like these are all the same - especially the rings around the outer edges...unless someone sees something I am missing.  Its hard to compare photos because a slight change in angle makes it look different. 
The first two photos I posted are definitely originals. 

I have heard rumors but have not seen any pictures or center console lids that look any different than what I have here.  Curious if anyone has seen the console stamping slightly different on an original.  This is what I consider correct originals:

Original early style "horse hair" 428 Cobra Jet fan shroud.  Really nice condition with no splits or cracks on the top or bottom where they typically are damaged.  The one mounting area has a small imperfection (see photos) and would just need some epoxy to repair.  Bottom of the fan shroud where the power steering cooler was mounted has some scratches.  Otherwise a really nice piece and hard to find part. 
$1200

Finding one of these in perfect condition is almost impossible these days.  This one here has some repairs but once installed would look really good for someone who needs one and has no other options.  First picture shows what it would look like installed.  Repaired areas would not be seen once installed.   
Asking $300.

Booked my room at $124 today but did have to call the hotel directly during business hours to do that.  Was not able to get the group rate to work online.
