well tips are good things especially for new guys so here are a few-
-- a good digital camera to place all your parts
-- duct tape ,and masking tape- (to write on)- label each part-- (make your own book as you go- this helps to reassemble in everything you do
lacquer thinner is a good cleaner - but must be used with caution! (not on soft rubber)-mineral spirits is less strength
a (things to do list)
a parts list- to check off all your parts
try to get the parts to complete a job if possible , before tearing into it-
--(this way it will not be so long before its complete, and will be fresh in your mind)
and you will not have parts scattered all over
Search for more than one assembly book!!!-- sometimes its better to have more than one opinion on things- (not just at the doctors)-lol
try to have fun- and be realistic!!- or it will become depressing,and you will LOSE INTEREST LIKE SO MANY PEOPLE DO--
i hope this helps these are just simple things we sometimes over look-

Those are some great tips! Having a camera is one of the best ideas!
Saved my butt a few times.
I'd add have a bunch of Ziplock plastic baggies in different sizes.
Tupperware containers are good also. _________________ ___________________________________

Thanks for the tips! I'm sure to print these out and use them in the near future. The restoration process should begin in mid April. _________________ 1979 Pontiac Firebird Redbird
