I was thinking the first thing to do was reinstall the wiring harness. For you folks who have done a total restoration, is that the place to start?

I bought a sandblaster from HF, so now I can clean up all the little parts before they get re-installed. They'll all need a few coats of color too.
I would like to see Tahoe next year from the seat of my car. Not that I'd take in on the open road, just roll it out of the trailer and then back in again.

The suspension is what I installed first, then fuel lines and brake lines on my car. I'm helping a friend of mine build a 67 Chevelle, we did the chassis and suspension first, now getting ready install the body and start the wiring.

Eric has the suspension, so I'm taking the next step.
And no I didn't paint the wire yet. Did clean so paint off of it fron a PO.

Aside from the rear brake line, which I would install first, then maybe the fuel lines, then the wiring harness.
Basically do the tunnel

Thanks, I just finished the front trunk and was going to pull the wire through the tunnel. I'll stop and do the lines first

Flip the car on its side...its alot easier to reach that way.

reassembly is the reverse of removal

Start by feeding the wiring harness from the engine bay into the tunnel -
I think Sir Andy has an entire thread on this -
The brake lines and fuel lines can be done before or after -
And, if you still have the car on the rotisere (sp), flip it on its side as previously suggested.
