I've got a 69 Roadrunner rolling shell here in Tucson with a straight body and zero rust. I'm guessing it will take me 3-5 years of saving and spending to bring this baby back to life.
My dilemma...:confused:...what is the best way to get started? I've got enough money in my project fund to start getting some serious work done to the car. I could get the all of the bodywork, paint and undercoating knocked out right off the bat...OR...I could wait, do everything else and finish up with the paint and body work. I've heard pros and cons for both directions from locals, but wanted to see what the consensus is here on the forum is on the most effective way to proceed.
Some other potentially relevant info...
Car will always be garaged (not a lot of room to work, but garaged nonetheless)
All of my kids are 17 years or older
Available restoration funds will come and go in spurts
If you have any web sites or other references that discuss this, please share them with me
Thanks in advance
