Need advice... sorry a long post!

This is my 1972 Cheyenne Super, Shortbox with factory 402BB, Air, Tilt, Tach, Cruise and bucket seats. I have had this just sitting for about five years now... collecting the parts for the resto.

I have collected new original Gm inner and outer fenders,Rad Support, and Gm tailgate. The bedsides, front bed panel and inner box wells are Goodmark. The hood cab and doors are mint so I am going to keep them. I have all the new chrome and interior as well as all of the steering and brake parts to make her new again.

I have assembled the truck with the new body panels now to ensure they all fit well together. It seems to be ok the doors have a nice alignment as well as the front clip. It was fairly painless getting the gaps and body lines to come together.

My plan is to blow the chassis apart and have it all powdercoated.

My question is to those of you that have been down that road before...

I want to take all of the panels to bare metal and start fresh with a good epoxy primer to start the body work off right. I was hoping to paint everything off the chassis individually in stages. Such as the cab and doors first, put them on the refinished chassis and then the front clip and at last the box. I will be painting her black so it shouldnt be hard to match the paint.

I was hoping to get some feedback on this procedure maybe some pros and cons of doing it this way. Maybe you might suggest a better way.

Sorry such a long post thanks for the time.
