Thanks for the feedback everyone. Much appreciated. I took the advice and she is soaking right now. I'll wire brush in a day or so. I got to working on the dash tin last night. I repainted it with high gloss. Not sure if I am happy with it yet. Thinking maybe i should have gone with a less shiny look. The tin that is painted was ordered from ebay. the old one in the pic below was bent up so I got one in better shape to repaint. The one I painted looked much like this one though so you can get an idea of a before and after. I taped it off with scotch tape so I could see what I was cutting away with the razor. Still need to touch up some letters and to the lift and choke up top, but all in all it turned out not so bad.
