RE: [Chevelle-list] Newbie - Question regarding restification sequence

[John Nasta]

1) get the car back   2) drive it for a year or two   3) work out any mechanical problems in the meantime   4) get it painted if it needs it   5) keep driving it   A restoration like you are talking about takes a lot of time and a lot of money, and most people end up not wanting to drive the car after that much work, or everywhere they go they worry about every little thing. You also don’t want to take it apart until you are very familiar with it, and you have to realize that once you start taking it apart it's going to be a long time before it's back together. My advice is to just enjoy it for a while before you do anything else.
