    Making a list and checking .....
    « on: March 28, 2009 - 09:17:30 AM »
    The day is getting closer about a week away from having my 70 Challenger shell blasted. I will finally turn the corner and start on the long journey of putting things back together.
    Aside from the obvious stuff like getting the car in primer ASAP what do I need to have ready to put back in place?  What do I have to have to keep the project moving ahead and not get bogged down in waiting for other pieces to be finished?
     Things I have ready to go back in/on the car include
    Engine rebuilt
    Master and booster ready
    Bumpers
    Steering Column and wheel
    Seatbelts
    Radio
    Most wiring harnesses
    Taillight bezels

    I have a problem with getting ahead of myself with restoration on parts I will not need for awhile. That’s why I have the taillight bezels ready but not the dash pad.

     Help me with a list of stuff I need right after I’m blasted

    I'd get a kit to rebuild the front end next .That plus whatever you have planned for the rear end so you can get it back on wheels . :clapping:

    Are you assembling the car in primer and painting later or is this for after the body and paint is done?

    Good question !

    I would assume that it would be easier to paint while everything is still off the car. Right? How would they have done it at the factory?
    For right now I would lean towards the paint and body being done first and assembling after.
