richard's54 New Guy R Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 9 United States	I bought a 54 Chevy 3100 and am not sure what to do first. The truck runs and has all the parts but I would like to do a complete restoration. What area should I tackle first? I am not very handy but could take body apart for painting? or should I do mechanical first such as engine overhaul, rebuild transmission etc? Any directional help appreciated.
