Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)

At least you didn't buy a roller with 30 days before a show and try to do a body off frame restoration of it like I did with my shop truck I learned my lesson on that one....almost got done.....

You really have it worse though....sema's not something you can blow off if things go wrong...

...no pressure...

You'll get it done. Just make sure to have a plan each day and work the plan....easy to stand around looking wondering what needs to be done first...or next...spend time at work when you're slow typing up an order of completion so you don't do double work by putting something together and bhaving to take it apart to do something else. For example, I got all excited to put my column in but should have installed the dash first so I dropped the ebrake assembly(hand style) and brackets so I could drop the column and slide the dash in place.... and it also made it a lot more difficult to bolt the brake booster to the pedal...

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread (CLOUD 9)

You probably knew all of that but it was a good reminder to me to type it all out and also hopefully will help out someone else reading your build in the future...

Also to add, if there's something I haven't done in a while and can't remember the order (like rebuilding the door/window guts) I look up the faq on it here and print out the pics....by then it comes back to me and I save time out in the shop later...

If you get her done by Sunday, you can go out for a nice dinner and a cruise with your wife for your 39th birthday in your new ride!
Good work either way!
