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. I use a pressure washer several times to start, then start scraping and wire brushing to get all dirt/grease off. Any potentially loose paint has to be removed. Dirt lodged in corners, recesses, etc. has to be scraped away. I am not a fan of sandblasting any part that hasn't been removed--too easy to get sand into internal parts. 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.
