Hello. I have been lurking here for a few year reading posts concerning restorations, but I do not have a clear idea of where to start. My car in on the bare frame, still painted. My intention was to get it done by a professional, but the quotes gives were astronomical. It was cheaper for me to buy a fully restored one than doing this one.
I now have to do the work myself with someone that knows how to weld well. So my question is, where do I start? Longs first, floor, front or what. The car is resting on a small frame my dad built so that I could move it in my small garage and I will have to invest in a rotisserie eventually. I do not have a frame machine. Thanks for the help. |
