Those are some beautiful end caps done by Josh.
I just want to lend my thoughts from a strictly rehabbing prospective. If you are going to wire brush the end caps, you can skip over the areas that I highlighted in the photo below. Once the lid is mounted, you will not see that area at all. It is not a huge area and won't save a whole lot of time, but not having to do the corners and creases does save some real effort. If you are doing them for a keeper or a real special restore, I can understand the thoroughness and attention to detail that Josh always exhibits. But, I mostly skip that area when i grind a set of end caps when I do a rehab.
