My daughter broke up with her bf ( worked in a body shop for years),
so there went my "project manager" for my bronco. Now i'm left with a
basement full of sheet metal for my '74. This thing has been siting idle in my
garage now for roughly 5 years and i'm getting anxious to get her going. I have never done any kind of body work in my life. My question is this.. where do I start? Should I start with the core supports, then the inner fenders then the inner wheel tubs, then work on the seat platform then the floor pans? I think you get the idea here right? Basically the entire floor from front to back. Do I have to take measurements off the original metal? How do i know if things are fitting properly and square for the next piece of metal and etc.etc down the line? I feel like i'm in over my skis on this project . Any and every piece of adv ice would be helpful. TIA
