Duster Rebuild: Where to Start What Order?

the reason i always do my body and paint first is because if you are basically restoring this car, you are going to have to paint everything first before you assemble it. some people will paint the door jams, assemble the interior, paint the engine bay, and install the suspension and engine, and then work on the body. but i prefer to get all the welding ,sanding and painting out of the way so im not backmasking until the cows come home and risk screwing up all the fresh new parts with dust and overspray, but thats just me. its really a matter of preference and/or whether or not you have the space and time to work on this car. some people have to drive these cars as they work on them or the cars have to be able to be moved around.
