There is no end to the details you can spend money on in assembly... ��
You are absolutely correct. I bought tons of parts over the last year and restored others that I could reuse so that the reassembly would be expedited when i got it back from paint. As I began, I already have compiled a list of things that I will still need. When I restored my 70 K10, the 71 Blazer, and the 69 Wagon, I had to restore the AC systems starting right with finding brackets as all 3 had the systems removed over the years. I probably spent close to a grand on each just for the AC stuff. Kind of glad this one doesn't have AC.
