First off, I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL RESTORER. But I have painted my own, and showed at EXPO, so here goes. I try to disassemble as much as practical. No use tearing down engines that are running fine.

Then follow with a thorough degreasing before priming. You can go as far as you want with sheetmetal, that's your choice, but this is how I do it. Paint won't adhere to dirty surfaces, so cleaning is the secret.
