Where do I start
I'm getting ready to do alot of sheetmetal work on my 67 Bird. I'm replacing the floor pans, D.S. rocker & 1/4 panels, trunk floor, & frame rails. They all seem to be dependant on each other. Where do I start?

To keep from getting overwhelmed, just remember that old joke. "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time!" Start with the floors ,frame rails ,trunk pan , then move on to the rocker and quarter panel. Break it up into four different jobs so as not to take to big of a bite. Are you drivig the car now or is it disassembled for repairs? Is it your first build this complex? There are a lot of good people here to help you. Just remember one bite at a time. Jim M.

Thanks, Jim. Yes, this is my 1st rebuild to this extent. I am very confident I can do it, I just need the order to do it in. The car is somewhat torn down & is in the barn. I'm waiting on a voltage regulator to fire it up( I hope). I won't drive it until all the sheetmetal is replaced because I don't want to screw up any parts that are still good. As for the good people to help out,
i know there's alot of them. Some of the people here I already know. Thanks Again. James |
