Where to start?

bossman69 · May 26th, 2008, 03:38 PM

Im getting back to work on my car and dont know where to start.The last thing I was doing was the front brake upgrade and redoing all the suspention in the front.I havent been able to finish the brake system yet due to funds being low but Im getting some funds together with this stimulous check coming in

.I want to go with stainless steel brake lines but dont know were to get some.I need to get my engine running again and see if its worth a dam.I have a lot of work to do and not sure where to start.I want to do my interior so I can drive my car when its ready to hit tha streets and figure out if my trany is any good or if it needs to be overhauled.Then comes tha rear end, I want to put a LSD in it and upgrade the rear brakes.Dam just talking about all this is makeing me want to get it done right now.So if you have any words of advice on were to start or what to finish first it would at least help.

I am currently restoring a 70 Mach 1.I went with the saftey issues first...brakes,suspension,handling and steering.I then moved on to the paint and bodywork annd now i am doing the engine rebuild.Interior last.Dependabilty nad safety are the top of the list.You don't want your classic Stang sitting beside the road somewhere without you or much less cause harm to you or someone else.Believe me,I know how you feel talking about your car,I am the same way.I haven't driven mine in 17 years.I hope that this helps you some and goodluck with the resto.
