restoration order?

["WC Roddick" <roscoe1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Exactly... nothing like driving to the parts store (or paint shop) with bad
brakes or worn out u-joints.  And sooner or later, somebody wrenching on the
car is gonna put their greasy paws on the paint or drop a wrench on the
fender.  Yow!!!

Your order has logic to it too. Get the chassis and drivetrain stuff done so
that at least you have something that can run and stop when you're pulling
it into the paint booth!
