If TOMRV is a go, I have another bike in mind.... a project that shouldn't take a whole lot of time. I've gathered up all parts but for a Campy bottom bracket. Pretty and interesting, appropriate geared for that event.
I had good luck cleaning up a frame starting with rubbing compound, then going to clear coat safe rubbing compound to finish. And I believe mine was in worse shape. Of course try it in an inconspicuous area first.
