[69Camaro]

I'm in the same boat with mine.... While my car is not currently a driver, I am debating the strip it by hand as I go method, or the full media blast and rotissery route. Or do I sell my currently rough but complete non driving car and by a driver that I can enjoy during the summer and wrench on inthe winter. The rotissery route will no doubt cost me more since I will build my dream car and likely only use the "best" parts (subject to personal opinion). While a driver I would be doing only the upgrades I could afford and finish during a 6 month period....

Personally I'm leaning to the full rotissery build even though it may take longer and cost more, simply because the car would be of a higher caliber when finished...

I guess if it were me, I would be doing the body and chassis first, then building the drivetrain and doing all the fitment and assembly, then once I was satisfied with the build-up and fitment, I would then tear it back apart for paint.
