Nice one. Looks amazing.
In my experience, unless you've a workstand it's easier to bash the cotter pins out with wheels in. That way you can stand the bike up and rest the cranks on a pile of wood or books or something to keep them steady while you give the pins a right good whack with a hammer. You'll probably need something to get into the hole when there's been no more pin showing- I've used an old allen key before and hit that.
Good luck with it.
Hope you're keeping the old bits. They look like Williams C34 cranks.
