RE: engine? paint? body? what should i do first?
Ok, so back to the subject that this thred was made about........ I think the majority of the people that posted are saying to do the engine first so that you have a good reliable car then work on cosmetics... (and could we please check our tempers at the home page?)

Plan the work, work the plan!
1) Brakes. No brakes, no STOP, no stop, no front end!
2) Suspension. If your going econo, do bushing.
3) drive train. motor, tranny, and rear end.
4) Body and paint. This includes dipping or media blasting ( baking soda).
5) Interior.
If your doing 1 & 2, do the install before #4 to make sure if any modifications are needed, then remove for #4. You don't want to mod anything after body and paint.
Drive train can be rebuilt while 1, 2, & 4 are being done. Again if your putting anything new in the car, it should be fitted before #4.
Out of all the above #4 seems to take the longest. That is if your having someone else do the work. Body shops always seem to take alot longer than planned.
So you should have plenty of time for the drive train!
Also after 1 & 2 are done I was planning on taking the car down to get rims and tires. Stance is real important to me, so I want to see the car in its new set of shoes before B&P. I'd hate to have to mod the wheel wells after b&d because my fatties don't fit!

SO what your saying is: Daver can make a joke, but Dan 66 can't make a joke without being called a douche? I have no problem with making fun of others or making a joke, but it's only funny, if it's funny.
EDIT: Remember only DISH it out if you can TAKE it

Well i dunno how i got it so say in reply to dan, but anyways he said a joke and then you comment in here how u won't even reply to any more of his threads may they be for help or not just because of that. Sure people may not have found humor in his joke, but that happens in every joke. So anyways happy new years everyone , and lets all have a new clean start in a new year :P
