[Spridgets] Order of reassembly

[crusaderchuck55 at aol.com]

May I suggest first make the car roll on its wheels.  That means all chassis components and brakes along with all the brake tubing.That makes it able to move around and have the parking/emergency brake functional to hold it in place where ever it needs to be.After that sticking the has tank in and all the wire harness.   My only reason for that is the fact that a lot of interior & under hood components go over the spots where the harness runs.  It's very annoying to stick the harness in after any interior is in or the heater and the stuff that goes on the right inner fender / footwell make careful installation a bit difficult for the thicker bundles of wires. At this point it starts to become a piece by piece reassembly project.Be certain to do all the under hood clutch & brake & fuel plumbing before you entertain installation of the motor & transmission!  After reassembling Frank's race car from what was a rolling shell that needed ALL the suspension & steering removed in order to make it a car again....  Well I had a few things that got in the way of this or that as I wandered through all the little land mines I kept coming across.   I should have completely dismantled it and started with a bare shell!ChuckBedn there fixed that...broke it ...fixed it again!
