I like working off a list. You just check each item off as you go. I just got my 66 coupe back from Santini's bodyshop in Westminster Ca. today and I'll start installing the brightwork this weekend. I'm also installing a delfi 600 steering gear. I'll explain what happened and post some before and after pics in another thread next week.
