Re-Assembling my Roadster

Post by Marky510 »

Hey everyone,
Finally getting around to putting my roadster back together. Body was painted last Friday and I'm excited to get it back frome the body shop on Monday. After almost 20 years since I pulled this car apart I'm afraid that I'm in need of some advice on how to proceed. What I'm hoping to get is a step-by-step on the interior assembly. Not every nut and bolt, but the big pieces... heater, dash, windshield, vacuformed pieces, radio assembly, center console, pedals, steering column... I'm hoping to get the hints of "this piece absolutely has to gone on before this other piece..." kind of info. I am a mechanic by trade and I have a spare running '68 for a go-by. My frame and engine are done and engine installed with no carbs.
Any and all info is hugely appreciated.

Mark

PS. Once I get the body back to the shop, I will update with some pics
