Default Next time I'm going to!

The next vehicle I restore, I'm going to resist the temptation of the rapid dis-assembly. (They all come apart quickly.)

Instead I'm going to clean each individual part as it comes off.

Once cleaned I will determine what work is needed and lead time on getting parts.

Then before boxing it I'll create an inventory on the computer of what box on which shelf it is located. Along with adding any parts need to the computer list of what parts need to be found.

Then as major component engine, drive train, body etc are disassembled and cleaned I will prioritize the parts and overhaul schedule.

Well you get the idea.

I can dream can't I.

Cheers Phil

Default I tried.....

...to bag everything and box everything....and was partly successful....but I still need to look for parts.......

At the barn I have this great system...... when I am finished with something I usually very carefully put it away some where very secure so I will not loose it..... than 6 months later I can't remember the secure place.......

....then I ask Grant ...Have you seen my spare E brake handle...? it was just here a few days ago..... a while goes by and Grant comes back and says I know where it is.... for $5,00 I can tell you where to find it.

He will never be rich as he usually tells me where to find it...before collecting...... sure beats trying to get organise..... just have Grant around !!!!

The other way is to go out and buy a repalcement then you will always find the item you where looking for.

At least Phil you cannot blame anyone else for moving rro misplacing your parts.

Wait until Al Zeimehr kicks in....... I will have the only CMP with a Pinto rear end.....

Bob
