Re: Restoration Website (allenz)
Excellent website and job :cheers:
With all of that detail do you have a list of all jobs performed and in what order? I am looking for anything that will assist in providing some sort of direction once everything starts to come apart.
You and fransteve are a great inspiration, well done.

Gavin,
Gee, I really don't; I am sure others on the forum are much more qualified than I. I can say that in general I believe that if the body is to be painted that should be done first - to give the paint a chance to harden up while the rest is going on. Clearly, if the frame is to be done everything must be removed, and while removed, restored.
A professional performed the restoration, and I am sure that each craftsman has his/her own strategy and style......sorry I couldn't be more specific.
