So I sold my 68 Coupe that I've had now for about 5 years. I was sad to see her leave, but change is a good thing. With the 68 gone, I now have the funds to work on my 70 coupe. I am looking into getting a power rack and pinion setup, but I am unsure of which one I should purchase. Any suggestions?

I've heard good things about Flamming River's products.

Thanks, it looked so funny, nothin from the firewall forward and a hole where the floor was, it prolly weighed a few hundred pounds, but now all the old stuff is replaced with new Dynacron stuff.

Another place that I'm stuck on is where to start. I have about 6000 for a budget and I'm not sure where I want to start with the car. I'm pretty sure I want to do the interior and engine last. Most of the body work is a work in progress, I have both floor pans replaced and some spots in the trunk left to do. I don't know where I should invest my money first. Start at the tires, and work my way to the top, or go another route. Suggestions?

I recommend the interior last, except the headliner. Do the engine and compartment before the body is ready for paint.
