Re: What order to restore?

Now a lot of body shops[including mine] doesn't want to spend a ton of extra time taping the underside for every time work is to be done. Now just think about instead of taking the body off to do the frame after the truck is painted , can you spray undercoating[and just plain black paint] on the underside to dress that up?
It is ok if you want the frame all cleaned up and freshened up but like one of the above said do you really need_______? if the answer is yes be prepared to pay some more at the body shop. Also one other thing to consider is doing the body mounts you probably need them bad most of us do. But when doing a frame off as compared to just a fix, clean and paint I think the latter is one you will more likely drive than the former. I seen lots of times people spend so much on getting them as perfect as they can then are afraid to drive them. If those same people didn't do as much it might be easier for them to hop in and go for a ride.
