The advice I have recieved and it is good advice. I took mine apart..did all the work i neede to do (not actually done yet) like new seals,body work on fenders, new bolts ,screws ect..ect..primed..put it back together, then I am going to take it apart and paint piece by piece..I am not close to doing this (finish paint) but that is what i am going to do.
