Re: Restoration Sequence Question

["MO ( Steve Mick)" <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

just my 2 cents--- If the top bows and other top parts need work, I would 
do them first so as not risk new paint damage.  Then the body work and 
paint. - A lot easier to detail the engine compartment with the engine out 
of the way.  I would put the engine on a stand so it could be cleaned and 
worked on in between other work. I would do the trim and top last
