Restoration question
First off I'm 75% through my 69 BB restoration but have been thinking about my 67. It is an all original driver I have owned for 10 years. It is a 327/350 4 speed AC (although removed by previous) , headrest, side pipe car. It needs the entire wiring harness replaced which I purchased awhile back. The motor and tranny has been gone through. It needs all the brakes and bushings replaced.
My question is what items should I look at replacing without going total frame off? I have a Ducati I came into and some trading power to get the work on the 67 in trade. I would rather go at him with my full list and work backwards.

Make it safe. For 67 you can replace all the brake lines without removing the body. I would do that I would also rebuild the front and rear suspension with all new rubber bushings.
