Finally, some pictures.

Start off with left, front, right and rear shots before I’ve done anything to this unit.

A shot after I stripped all the wiring and the wooden mounting plate from the bottom and before I sanded/cleaned/vacuumed.

After stripping

I touched up the black paint on the upper part. Instantly improved things 100%. I have to go over it again, it’s got tiger stripes.

Black Paint

A shot of the now cleaned wiring (it was disgusting) and the sanded/vacuumed/mopped insides. Nothing in there is permanent, I just couldn’t leave it lying around, so I just tacked it down inside the cab.

Finally, a shot of some of the artwork before cleaning. I experimented in a couple places to see what kind of chemicals I could use without it melting the ink. The glass cleaner I use from Auto Zone works very well. Yes, there is some flaking, but that’s not due to the cleaner, it’s because it was flaking already. It all needs to be touched up anyway.

Before cleaning

And afterward. I only did 1/2 of it to give a grasp of the difference. Picture doesn’t show it well, but it’s much cleaner.
