On September 8, my daughter and I made the drive to pick up the parts from the guy doing the media blasting for me. For all this work, he only wanted $40 and change. I gave him $50 and was happy it wasn't twice that much. You can see that the work wasn't perfect, but it was a heckuva lot more than I could do with my equipment at the time. (Since then I've purchased a 5-horse, 60-gallon vertical air compressor and a pressurized sandblasting setup, and even though I ran the new wiring weeks ago, I haven't had time to hook it up and even so much as flip on the breaker for the new circuit.)

My investment in Eastwood's Rust Converter seems to have been money well spent. In the pics below you can see the axle housing and the drop spindles coated with RC. Started out purple but dried blackish-brownish. And yes, I'll carefully clean it off of the rotor surfaces before putting them into use.
