I bought a 68 project car basically taken as far apart as possible. Just the body was on the frame, EVERYTHING interior and exterior was removed for body work.

I'm wondering what the best way to go about putting her back together is? I'm installing the AC kit now, but I'd hate to have to take a bunch of stuff apart later, so I was wondering if there was any special order that you guys recommend installing the parts?

 

You are looking for someone to type the order of operations on the assembly of a car? If you are using none OEM parts assume you are going to take it a part and put it together at least twice. Its always faster the 2nd time and by the 4th time you will be a pro.

I'm not looking for every single step I'm looking for people who have done this that know, certain things have to be done first otherwise you will need to remove parts later to install it. This is harder to explain than I thought.

Recently I came across the right kick panel inside the car has to go in first and then the AC box otherwise you can't get the kick panel in. It's stuff like that that I'm looking for. Obviously installing the headliner without Windows makes it much easier. Since I have only started this long journey I was hoping for a few words of advice from people who have done this and know that certain parts have to be installed first otherwise they won't fit later. And I'm not talking about obvious things such as the carpet has to go in before the seats.

 

Get an Assembly Instruction Manual (AIM) and study.
As Gorn suggests, you will be assembling twice


If me, I would prime, paint, and seal all metal first, include inside of doors, roof, inst panel.
Urethane subframe and suspension components, set eng/trans onto it.
Fitting of body panels, then disassemble, paint jambs, backsides, etc.
Then electrical harness, then accessories of unibody.
Attach subframe to unibody using solid mounts (alum disks).
Then go from there.
