I posted earlier that I was doing a ground up restoration, things are going good. Moved into a new facility, better working conditions. Well I am no were near this point yet but what do you think a order of operations would be.

body work (in progress)
priming
undercoating and engine bay paint
interior paint
suspension and paint
then engine or paint job next?
......
if you get my drift. Just curious which would be saver order.
remember this is ground up, there is nothing but a shell and frame now.

Paint everything then put the drivetrain and suspension in, fenders/hood/doors go on last.
