Getting ready to start the body and paint on my 58 Trailblazer in the coming week. ORIGINALLY I was just going to paint the tank and rear fender, keep it quick and easy. But, I keep looking at the bike and I really want the frame and fork tube covers pearl black with a black micro flake. I already plan on painting the cylinders/heads/engine case with metallic black engine enamel at the same time as the fender and tank.
My question is, approximately how long does it take to drop the motor out of the frame? The triple trees and swing arm look like they can't take more than 30-45 minutes to pull apart? The wiring is brand new and super simple. I designed it to be easily removable, so I'm not worried about that.
Do you guys think it's worth the time to pull it completely apart and do a FULL restoration? I'll already have all the paint supplies to do it.......
