I've knocked apart more and more of the front suspension. Got the driver's side spindle and upper control arm out, took out the upper control arm mount and the shock absorber (had to cut the shock out). Also removed the front bumper and the bracket that the hood latch/spring goes on... I don't know what that's called. I've been soaking the ball joint between the spindle and upper control arm with liquid wrench but still can't unscrew it... frustrating.
I think I'm going to pick up a sand/media blasting setup for around 130 bucks rather than paying someone 10-20 bucks a shot to clean up individual parts. I need to buy frame sections and get them welded in before I invest that kind of money, but I think that's the best path forward... then I can blast sections of the body as I go, too. Sure, it'll make a mess but I'm used to that.
