Took mine to a local radiator shop - it came out great. All of the gunk is gone from the outside, as well as a good portion of the paint, but the copper was 100% intact. They checked it for leaks and then rinsed it and sprayed the inside with a thin oil to prevent any rusting prior to install. They told me to throw some cheap oil in it and really slosh it around, then drain it. I plan on doing this a few times prior to installing and using it.
