Welcome Thomas :-)   Begin with taking pictures of how its together first Digital if you can, (burn it on a disc) Then you can refer to it later. put everything in baggies and label it where it came off, like it describes in the assy manual. Go to e-bay or local swapmeets for parts or options that you want and need.   take front clip off body off dissemble frame rebuild drivetrain have chrome re done massage body back to health paint body Interior redo if it needs it etc..   Best Regards Paul 67 Elky Az Chvl club ACES ----- Original Message ----- From: Ringlein Thomas J Capt 40 ELRF/CC To: Chevelle-list@chevelles.net Sent: Wednesday, November 02, 2005 12:21 AM Subject: [Chevelle-list] Newbie - Question regarding restification sequence Folks- I am new to Team Chevelle - as of this morning in fact.  I have owned my Chevelle since 1987, through High School, College, and beyond.  I am active duty Air Force, and have an assignment to Fresno California pending for April 2006.  Finally, I am in a position to retrieve my car from my father's house in central California and dive into a rectification - but need a bit of help. I am fairly mechanically inclined, but have never disassembled a car before.  I want to do a complete frame-off rectification, complete with powder coat to the frame, brake and power train upgrades, the full works.  But is there a publication or book that outlines the best sequence of events for a successful frame-off rectification?  I already have an assembly manual, and have nearly read it cover to cover.  I have a positive attitude, and fairly decent budget, and 3 years to complete the project.  In order not to mess things up too bad, and make the road to success more smooth, I am just looking for a "playbook."  Does one exist?   Rinkys- 72 Chevelle Malibu in a state of disrepair Diego Garcia, B.I.O.T.   THOMAS J.
