I feel pretty confident I can do a good job of it. I have been a professional furniture restorer for 40 years so I am very familiar with working with wood. I'll do it like the last video I posted. Regarding the belly. Yes the Bridge was pretty tilted and it looked like it might be pregnant with twin ukuleles. The Bridge was completely tight though. I installed a Bridge Doctor and it flattened right out. I know many people disapprove of bridge doctors but it seemed to work great so far and I think it sounds even better.

So far I have:
Installed a Bridge Doctor
Replaced the tuning machines
Put in a tusq saddle
Added a curly teak veneer to the headstock because the original Soveriegn overlay was missing when I got it.

The neck reset is the most ambitious but I think I can do it.
