Before beginning the fine mechanical repair work, I finished sandblasting, cleaning, and repainting the major mechanical components that I had decided to reuse. The crank bearings will need to be rebabbitted, the crankpin has to be reground, and various missing or damaged parts must be remanufactured from scratch.
