First make sure the car can stop.

Once you get the car to go as fast as you want it, then make it look good. Since it is very difficult to achieve, having a car you don't want to go any faster, how the car looks rarely becomes an issue.
This has always been my formula.
Recently finished step #3 with my 3.6
Yesterday I washed & waxed it. Then vacuumed the top canvas. (only way I know to get the lint off) Original top still looks good so I just going to replace the plastic window
Now the cosmetic restoration begins.
Seems many don't realize the cosmetics & body can be taken from you anytime. ( ask Thstone) You would have to slam a utility pole really hard to damage a engine.
Otherwise you can take it with you to your next BOX.
