Default What to do?

Since the weather finally broke Ive began working on my 67 coupe but im new to all this I figured the cowl should be first since that rots the floors but i just want to see everyones opinions on it.

Sounds like you're doing a complete ground up restore, why not start with the cowl...

good luck and post pics of the progress

yeah but if you do the cowl first then you don't have to worry about your brand new floors!

Do the cowl first or at least do it before the floors. You don't want to do the floors first, get side tracked, and have a leaking cowl destroying your new floors. Of course, I didn't follow my own advice and did the suspension first.
