Looking good - gotta love progress! What is the jar thingie? That cleaned up very well!
I merged these all together, as they make the most sense to keep them all under one thread.

washer jar

i just used a drill with a scour pad disk and it took off the rust and that grey paint then i had sanded it lightly with fine sandpaper then buffed it with steel wool..the glass i just used plain vinegar..i might clearcoat the lid like i did the heater box under the hood..i like the silver nest to the black...i like jobs like these where you see the finished job in minutes
