Re: Clock is Ticking - Where to Start?

For me and my 68 I started on fixing stuff the PO messed up. Starting with the cooling system and the mechanical side of it. kept snowballing for till I finally took it all the way down for a complete restoration. A word of warning on that it is verry intimidating and at times over whelming to do a complete tear down. I know why you see so many projects sitting or for sale. If you decide to do a complete restoration yourself including engine, transmission, suspension and body. And you doing the work plan on spending 30k and three years minimum to do a good quality build. And I'm not talking a show truck just a solid build presentable truck. Ask me how I know. Here is where I am at now. But the bed is done and cab is in primer. And am I thankful I bought all my sheet metal before everything went crazy.
