Im 18 and looking to fix up my honda cl350...but right now its in pieces.
Not really sure where to start so I thought that I would just take it the rest of the way apart and clean it all up. Then just start building it back together...any suggestions about how to best do this?
Get ready for some great times! The best way to do it is just as you describe. I'm assuming you're mechanically inclined of course..
Take it all the way apart, down to the frame, and polish and paint each new part as you get to it. You can paint it yourself, but the results won't be so good unless you do that kind of thing a lot or you know someone who does. Just take your time and enjoy it. Get a shop manual and learn as you go. Be prepared to spend some money here and there though. There will probably be lots of things that need to be replaced because this thing is old.
This will be a ton of fun and will be a very rewarding feeling once you get it running for the first time. There are lots of blogs and articles about this process if you google cb350 build.
