Looks like you’re doing a great job so far with cleaning. If it were mine, I would just finish cleaning every inch of it and leave it until you strip the car down to nothing for all over paint. Clean and paint the k frame black. Take the brake line across the firewall out of the tabs and clean it with a scotchbrite pad, and then clear that with a rattle can. You may experiment with hand buffing the fenderwells and firewall out, but be careful with your finger tips around spot welds. I’ve had a hunk jerked out of a fingertip before by a sharp place sticking up from the weld! Keep up the good work!
