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.

Do whatever needs done mechanically, and drive it. That's where I'm at with my recently purchased, mostly original '61.
