Wanted to start painting the frame today, but there are still some stubborn spots of toxic muck on the steering box. Tried oven cleaner and it helped a lot, but takes a long time. If you are impatient like I am, the best way to do it is put on a faceshield, some clothes you don't care about and hit it with a wire brush. Very messy, but very effective. Make sure you use an old brush because you don't want to use it on other parts of the car that have no grease. Unfortunately, I am out of wire brushes right now so I'm using more oven cleaner.

Hopefully tomorrow I can get more done. I'm going to try 34PackardRoadsta's tip on using the aluminum foil when it is time to mask. Looks like it makes that task a lot easier.
