I have been slowly wire wheeling the frame after work with a 4.5 inch grinder. There is no way that a drill would have the power or leverage to do the whole frame. There are a few spots that I need to get a smaller wire brush into. I estimate that it have about 20 hours into it so far. I think total hours to get the frame wire wheeled will be around 30, with cleaning the axles probably close to 40 hours. Every so often I think about the sandblasting. I may change my mind if I can’t get some of the hard to reach spots. I’m not giving up yet on the manual removal effort.

On a few places I applied the Rustoleum Rust Converter but I found that it does not penetrate through the dirt and grime that is mixed in with the rust. I think in select situations it is a solution for bare rusted metal. I’ll keep wire wheeling.
