I have a 67 fastback that is in need of sheet metal. I am looking at new front frame rails, aprons, new floor pans, partial if not full rear rails, trunk floor, tailight panel, and quarters. What should I replace first. What would be the best order to get started on this in?

I'm just in the process of doing a 65 2+2. I started with the floorpans doing 1 side at a time so as not to alter the original structural set-up. When doing the floorpans I also kept the car sitting on wheels and tires, not elevated. With the floorpan out of the way you can evaluate and re and re your rails if needed then weld in the new pan. After floor pans were done I replaced pass side battery apron, drivers side quarter and pass side lower patch panel. Not a rusty car (except for the floor pans where they turned up onto the toeboard and the acid melted battery tray apron) but I replaced b/c the car had been hit at some point and had too much filler for my liking. That progression seemed to work well for me.
