My problem is, once I get started refinishing/cleaning stuff, I end up cleaning everything I can get my hands on. I'm yellin at my kid to bring me her Razr and corroded electronics etc. Got. To. Stay. Focused. But blasting and wire wheeling are the bomb diggity.

I'm the same way. While the X was on jackstands with the wheels/rotors removed I touched up the black finish on the sheet metal behind the rear wheels (just below the plastic wheelwell insert), wirewheeled/cleaned/anti-seized hubs, cleaned springs, cleaned/conditioned the plastic undertray and brake lines, cleaned/conditioned airride bags and lubed EVERY bolt/nut/fastener/link in sight (shot the hub axle nuts with rust penetrant) while on a creeper. Used the floorjack under the hub carriers to unload the airbags for rear balljoint/control arm play inspection.
