For you guys/gals that have done, or are in the process of doing a frame-off restoration... what's your order of operations like?
This is what mine is kinda like (subject to changes). Starting with the frame, it'll be cleaned up and painted... suspension and brakes done in the same general time period. The engine will be on its' way to the machine shop. After the frame is done, body work will be done, then paint. When the engine is back, it will be rebuilt by me. Engine/transmission/transfer case will be painted. The drivetrain will be installed before the body goes back on. The body will get installed, and then wiring will begin, as well as hooking up everything to the engine (new exhaust), etc. The interior will probably be next. Gotta find a new (used) seat, and dress up everything. The wood floor will probably be addressed near the end of the project. Then come the finishing touches. What's yours like? Or does anyone have any suggestions that might save me time or money? ![]()
