Ryan, you've done well to isolate the interesting detail, pattern, and texture.
I have two suggestions to improve your photo dramatically. First, try cropping about 25% from the top to remove some of the clutter. Second, if you use an image-editor, you might try some ways to heighten the contrast of the image, experiment with effects that support contrast, and perhaps play with some toning such as sepia to heighten the feeling of rust and age.
