new and ready to paint

[RED72blazer]

first off let me start by saying that I am new here. I have been readying post for a while but this is my first. I also haxve a 72 blazer and this goat. Ifinally have saved up enough to paint my car. I really have no Idea what to do. It's a 1967 gto, the interior is gutted. no engine/trans, no wiring, crome, ect. It needs paint in and out. Should I put the engine and tranny in first? what suggestions do you have? i'm located in seattle and would like to fine a good body shop. I've never done something like this. It's rather daunting. any suggestions would be great.
