I pulled my SL350 apart just to "clean" and it took me about 30 hours!! just to clean and repaint everything! But that was all at once witch I wouldn't recommend doing it all at once if its your first build.

Best thing for old rusty bikes is a bench grinder with a wire wheel. Pulls rust out of parts really easy. But I would get a fine wheel so you don't take any metal off, just rust grease and old paint. And don't forget you will have to put some kind of sealer on what ever you brush, or it will rust and ull be back where you started.
