Where do I start, floors or quarters
 

I'm starting to restore my 70 Chevelle. I've got the shell 100% stripped down, nothing left at all. I know I need new quarters. I've got brand new NOS doors for it, and the floor might need patching, if not 100% replaced. Trunk same thing. I want to get the car blasted and was thinking take both quarters off, to have them blast behind them. Then replace the quarters, then figure out what I need to patch in floor & trunk. Anyone else have any suggestions? I was planning on also getting new body mounts, get the shell bolted to the chassis, starting getting quarters mounted (with clamps) line up the new doors and new trunk. I also don't have any front sheetmetal so will have to buy all that brand new as well.

Any tips/suggestions would be great.

Not a 70 chevelle, but I can tell you what I did for my 67 camaro because I was paranoid about rust and about body shift while cutting this stuff out. I built a jig /crate that I could roll the car around on that had the factoring mounting points to spec to keep the body square. I put the car on it and put bracing in across the dash section and the door section. I then cut out the floor pan and replaced it. I wanted to get the floor solid and done before I cut the quarterpanels off in case the body began shifting. Once I had the floor done, I cut teh quarters off and replaced the inner and outer tubs with DSE mini tubs and put the quarters on as well. Hope this helps
