I wish I would have done ________ when my motor was out of the engine bay.

or

I wish I would have done ________ when my interior was totally stripped.


Reason I ask is this is where im at right now, motor and interior out to have floor pans done and a new motor coming in. Im trying to take advantage of the situation and get things done now while it is easier.

I wish I would have done bought a car already restored when my interior was totally stripped.

Actually, if the 67 is like the 65 while the interior is out get in the back and clean out the area where the bottom of the quarter joins the top of the rocker on the inside. Unless, of course your floor pan replacement already involves that area.

I wish I would have done more prep work on the engine compartment before I painted it.
-interior, I wish I would have had the headliner install profesionally.

yeah, with all the rust you run the risk of getting tetanus.

great post, I've got my engine out right now so hopefully I'll find some good suggestions on what to do.
