It will look dramatically different when you are done!
When you say replace all seals, gaskets, bearings - do you have a list? Im curious as I am contemplating similar decisions. In particular, do you include:
front wheel bearings?
hydro to rear end gasket?
trunion gasket?
rear end bearings? (Im not sure whats in there... more than one I think but I wouldnt think they all need it)
lift cylinder rebuild?
the bushings for the brake lever, etc, where they go through the frame? (maybe put zerk fittings on these?) Most people dont take these apart for painting.
hydro release valves?
adding zerk fittings anywhere else?
rear end cover, back cover gaskets?
rear axle seals/bearings?
rag joints?
what did I miss?
Im just asking because I am doing some, but not all of these on mine and would love to hear others recommendations on which are worth it and which are better left alone until a problem.
(ok, it just hit me that yours is not a hydro, and manual lift so not all these apply. But some do...?)
