cragar 30 spoke fun!

[sneaky]

Hey guys, picked up this set of cragars for 80 bucks on craigslist in pretty rough shape. The guy i bought them from said I should try Oxalic acid on them, so I looked the stuff up and ordered a few pounds off of ebay. The stuff basically will remove rust without scrubbing or damaging the surface around the rust. If its not too deep it will remove the rust with no residue, for the really bad spots you get left with a black pitting...still not that bad though. I left each wheel in a tub for a couple of days and am happy with the results!
As you can imagine, I have dipped about everthing i could find that was rusty. This stuff is awesome, just mix with water and wait.

most of the wheels looked about like this:




the mix starts to change colors after it begins working:

this was the worst spot, and am pretty much left with it this way...still way better than before:
