I am doing body work, electrical, engine, suspension, and interior at the end. I’m no pro, but that’s what made sense to me after searching and experience with another restoration I did. For me, works best to divide big jobs into smaller jobs that I can check off a list.

Bare metal? Maybe. Dunno if it needs that. I guess that decision comes once it's all taken apart and you have a good look.
Being, as it is, nearly 40 years old by now I expect that there are a bazillion little bits that need to be changed out. But my goal is really just to replace 1-1. Nothing fancy. Plain vanilla. The engine has never been rebuilt so, one way or the other, I guess that's unavoidable.
That or (horror of horrors) convert to electric. That's very pricey though.
