I need to dump that over my whole engine. It is so dirty I have no clue what is rusted and what isn't.

LOL I did full off frame restorations of a 58 Chev, a 64 Mustang and a 64 Impala. There aint nothin' anybody can tell me about rust. More than once we came across rust that was indeed holding the car together. The bloody Mustang came with it factory equipped.

By circumstance of where I lived I've been through a total on March 7, 1970 in NC and an annular on 5/30/1984 in Virginia. I was surprised how much difference there is between those two an the 97% coverage in terms of light. I expected today to be much darker than it was.

"Frame off" is more a figure of speech than a technical term when talking Mustangs.

Same here. 92% coverage - bright day. Welder's mask showed well. "Eclipse glasses" showed very orangey!

Was cool and all but I can't imagine that even at full it was worth the hype.

I wouldn't spend thousands of dollars to go see one, but had I not already been through it (twice) it would have been worth driving the couple of hundred miles I would have had to drive today to be fully in the shadow. It goes from what you saw today to 2am dark back to light in just a few minutes.
