Topic: Where to begin?

How do you guys start your rebuilds? What do you build-up first? I can't seem to get started. I broke my '71 CB750 down to atoms. It is completely dissasembled (that was the easy part). Just got the frame back from powder. What should I do now (motor, front-end, seat)?
Thanks in advance.

Just pick one of the fore mentioned items and go to town......it probably needs it all anyways and if it didn't....at least you will know what shape its in.........Oh...and don't forget the beers....but not too many!!!!

Any bike that falls into my hands always gets the motor seen to first.
That way I know what I'm facing $$ wise in the near future, if I can get her to run right and strong all good and I can concentraite on the other bits (brakes are a good thing as now its running you will need to stop it).
I like to put new tires on if they need it so I'm wheeling around a decent rolling frame.
All the rest just falls into place, if the motor is coozed then while I'm waiting for parts or funds I can work on the free stuff like cleaning and prep.
