Elinor:
Cuz he is smart, that's why he got you! A kindred spirit.
And, the flip side is likewise....
Old tool rectification project 99% done. Love tools, it passed on to son. he just installed modern guts in one of his "semi antique" CNC mills that he uses to produce products to sell in his on line business..
The neat "egg beater hand drill" resists my efforts to free up t's frozen rotating parts.
I sold off an extra DPDT polarity reversing switch. The buyer is local, a mechanical engineer stocking his shop for his retirement years.
Offered a derust idea. Agricultural grade molasses diluted. Cows like it, it likes rust.... , Elinor may have some input...

I don't remember tools and things getting all that rusty. but then, Dad's brother was rather **** about taking care of stuff like that, and they worked together until he died. They're both gone now so I can't even ask.

The catalytic convertor is a major contributor to the heat problem under the hood as it is tucked up high near the exhaust manifolds and radiates heat upwards never benefiting from "under the car" airflow. When I had my wretched 6 still in the car I installed a hollow out cat ,..it is now laying on the ground in my "Xj6 junk pile of parts" left over from when I did the V8 swap.
I think that the closed cell foam underhood pads with a silver coating would work best at keeping the radiant heat down. I have louvers which some like and some hate ( I happen to like them and they work) They are functional. Gradually I am sorting this old car out

Kept a 55gal plastic barrel full out back of the shop. Took days at the time but would derust as well as about anything. But the smell! Figured I'd have the ATF by looking for a still or something. Kept it for prob 3 or 4 months maybe longer, I poured it out on the ground and trashed the barrel, funked up the whole neighborhood for weeks. Cleaned a lot of parts but it takes a little while and with the smell, I'll just stick to phosphoric acid based rust removers or blasting. Hey it did work well on a jag fuel tank though!
