Re: Looking for tips on how to start the restoration.

First, thanks for all the kind words about my service to the country. I'm just doing my job!

Now, right now the plan i have in my head is this.

I'm going to get the truck in the garage and strip it down to the frame, I already have my boxes and plastic bags ready with sharpie. Next i want to strip any rust/dirt/grease off the frame. sand it down and coat it with protectant. Then i figured to put next shocks/springs control arms etc etc. just basically go over the suspension and misc parts and replace as necessary. After that i hit kind of a wall. I'm wanting to change the color of the truck from black to a bright cobalt blue. I'm trying to figure out should i should go about that? Since i already have the truck stripped down, would i procure a trailer and take it over to the paint shop. or would i just go ahead and put the truck back together and have it done later on. I'm trying to think of the easiest/cheapest way to get this done.
