Order of restoration
Hey guys... ive been at the Mopar game for quite a while but have never done a complete restoration. My coronet is on a dolly with everything removed, fresh from the body shop.
What order should I start assembling the car? Brake lines, fuel lines, and wiring first? Suspensions first? I really dont want to jump ahead only to find that I have to backtrack to install something I should have done earlier. Is there any reference material going from start to finish?
