Slow, Driving Rustoration 1972 Dart
Well...I took my car all apart once I had decided to do a complete remodel, engine swap and color change paint job. Taking it ALL apart takes commitment, careful planing, money, and for me working on it everyday doing something to advance the build. It took just over 3 years for me. If you are going to paint the engine bay, you have to remove the engine. What I would say, if I had to do it again, have the new engine/trans ready to install, do the engine bay paint, install the new engine and trans right away. Try to keep it movable on its own power. Like the others have said, it is easy for it to get away from you if all you have is a pyle of parts. Careful planning is the key. The journey is worth it!
