    I need help with the "Next Step" and or the right order of things...
    I am building a 29 Sedan. My frame is close to being done. It needs motor & trans mounts and crossmember. I also need to make a rear spring mount.

    I do not know what needs to go 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc. I mean, I know what I need to do... I just want to make sure I do things in the right order. I need a gas tank, radator, headers, fuel lines, break lines, pedals and master... on and on...

    When do I need to have all of these parts "on-hand" and ready?

    We are rebuilding the motor now. It is a weekend or two from coming back to my place. I have help coming to make the motor and trans mounts. How much stuff do I need to have decided on at that time?

    Motor will be done next weekend. I will make motor and trans mounts and crossmembers etc. When do I need to have the floor mount break pedal assembly? What about wire harness? Body mounts?

    I have the start of the channel, but it is only a start so it will sit where it is supposed to.

    From where I am, is there a "must do next" step before I do another? Or is it just keep moving forward one weekend at a time?

    to locate your motor I think you should have the fan and the radiator.

    You dont need to mount the radiator, because you dont know how high you want it until the body is on. but you do need to space the motor back so your fan will be at the right distance. It would be nice to do the motor and trans at the same time.
