Cool, thanx for the link too!

So far, I was able to get the bolt loose that goes through the headset without stripping it, and I got most of the scale and rust off the bottom of the original BMX seat with the water/tin foil trick. My plan is to restify it mechanically, clean it, and enjoy it. I'm not changing the original decals even though they're a little scuffed and faded - it's just patina. The bike really is a survivor. I'll post some more pics when I get some more cleaning and work done on it.
