I have my car torn down right now for an engine rebuild (so engine is out of car) and I think it would be a good time to take the front end apart and replace bushings, and maybe sandblast the parts and paint them. Just wondering what's all involved and if I'm likely to break 12 different bolts and stuff like that...

 

do it! Its all less than what you are perceiving in your head...
Heck, for the cost of sandblasting and recoating maybe just get upgraded aftermarket parts? Bushings usually come on those already.. just set aside the extra $ for an alignment.
