One of my dad's buddies works on restoring trucks for a living and has been doing it for a while, so I do have some help already. I was wodering where to start. I figuered that it would be good to remove the front clip. That's how far I've gotten so far. Am I on the right track?

In that case....take it apart! If you want a running driving daily driver then work on the mechanicals and drive it. If your going full resto then take plenty of picture and bag and bag and tag everything. Even as young as you are you will find your memory isn't what it use to be!!! Welcome to the Bolt. There are several young guys and gals that visit here. Good luck with your project. Keep us posted and it would be nice to post some pics!.....just give us a link to them. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2008 Posts: 3,750 | Hi Reedster, Welcome to the 'bolt. Alvin has provided some good advice,and at 13 years old I'll assume you are "computer savvy"!  Just use the search feature of the forum and you will find topics already discussed,or simply ask away! The way things are going John and Peggy are going to have to put a 'Junior Bolters' sub forum in! Oh! and don't forget  Jock
