My first restore find! Found smokey Joe Gold L code for $5

[Edveder9]

 My first restore find! It's a smokey Joe Gold with a L code.  Got it for $5    It's in good shape only has rust on bolts and a little bit on the legs near bolts.     What's the best way to remove this rust?     Any pointers?      The wood handle is in decent shape also just needs refinishing.      Planing to start cleaning it up today!     Also I would post some before and after pics but nut sure how to post pics on here.   What's the easiest way!    Thanks guys!!!

Here is the Craigslist add pic.   I'll post some better ones later and the before and after cleanup.   I know it's only a 1989 but it's my first find..

@Edveder9 Looks like a nice grab.  It's hard to tell from the ad photo, but it looks to be in good shape.  Post some more pics once you get it in your possession and more Fellas will probably chime in.
