[QUOTE="Okie4570, post: 3272017, member: 15643"] What vehicle is it, what's your motivation level, what's your time frame, what's your budget, what's your capabilities, what's your work facility like? Somethings I've learned over the years and from others.... -When tearing it down, label parts and containers and keep those systems together -Learn about any body bracing that may need to occur to keep the body from bending or twisting when it's removed from the frame -Sandblasting warps body panels, body blasting really has a ton of factors depending on rust, etc. -Plan on spending more than you though you would -Plan on it taking longer than you thought it would :) I've seen some really nice early broncos that were running and driving, torn down to pieces, owner looses interest, funding and time and they end of selling them for pennies on the dollar................
