The past two nights my work schedule hasn't allowed me any shop time. Tonight I went straight to the shop and got started.

The steering box, and drag link had a good half inch of grease caked on them. It took a couple of hours with the wire wheel, Scotch Brite and brake cleaner to get the parts clean.

After a blast with the pressure nozzle I wiped the parts clean and prepped for paint. I decided to go with VHT Cast Iron on the pieces to have a bit of contrast.
