Where to start - Fresh power coated frame.

Got frame back from powder coat and I'm ready to start assembly. (see: https://www.pro-touring.com/showthread.php?42011-1996-Impala-MistresSS)

Where do I begin?

Do you need to chase any threaded holes? How about running fuel or brake lines? Get the body mounts ready? Assemble front and rear suspension, get your engine and trans mated and stab it in there? I'm just talking out of my a** but ya gotta start somewhere!

Steve - very true thanks. I need to start somewhere.

I agree...get some thread taps and go over the chassis and clean any bracket mounting thread holes that weren't plugged when powdercoated.

Set the frame up on 4 jack stands so it's at a comfortable height (and you can get the rear axle under it) and start fitting up the front and rear suspensions and run your fuel and brake lines.
I'd sit the drivetrain into the chassis if they're ready.....if you're doing something custom with a non-stock engine, I'd fit the body first.
