The paint is DONE. I resanded down the inside of tha sail panels and got them re-painted today. Well, I need to wait a few weeks for the paint to cure enough to buff, but everything looks right this time.

I'm eager to start planning the reassembly. It been a few years since I tore the car down and all the photos I took to document the process were "lost" in the divorce. I figure there needs to be a plan and if anybody out there is a few steps ahead of me or remembers the sequence from a project they finished, I could use some help.

I'm thinking I should start with the wiring that runs in the tunnel. But what's next?

I'm just finishing putting mine together and I didn't have a plan. I looked and thought about what needed to be done and did it. You'll find you can't just grab parts and bolt them on because you either have to rebuild, clean, or paint em.

This is the way I went about it also. I think it cost me a lot fo time not making a plan ahead of time. I am thankful that I had "people that know" (okay, DrEvil - who has been more helpful to me then can be imagined) tell me to do the tunnel first.

On the days that I went in with a plan, I got a ton done. On the days that I just went in to brain it out, I got very little done at all. Usually because I could not find parts I needed (stuff gets lost when in storage for 3 years) or stuff needed rebuilding that I had not planned on, or stuff was dirty, or I was stressed from life and already overwhelmed before I even stepped into the garage (those nights were more "decompression" nights then actually work nights). A simple plan for work to be done (list on a postit note), and an inventory of the parts that you need to make it happen made the slight amount of time get used way more effectively.
