Re: Order of Operations
The process I follow is like this: You first start on the rolling parts so you can move it around. Tires and wheel restoring, then the wheel bearings and brakes. Then I concentrate on the mechanical stuff like getting it running, shifting, stopping and suspension stuff. After that I’ll drive it a little (around the block) a few days to figure out what is in dire need. Once I get all the mechanical stuff worked out I’ll start on the bodywork, which I’m not too good at. It may seem like a lot of trouble but you know where you stand and what to budget for.
