Quarantine Projects - Because I'm BORED (1 Viewer)

[pathstaken]

So back on November 1st (The day before my birthday), I hit a deer.
So I saved cash, until the end of February, I put my 84 in the shop for a complete body job and paint job. (Keeping it the same color. I like the blue).
I wasn't worried about it. She's my DD, but hey, I had basketball...
Oy.
Anyways, since this idiocy is happening, the body shop lost three employees (out of six), and almost two months later, she's taped and primed. I might even get her back next week.

So when and if I do, so far these are the projects I have planned :
a) rewire her audio, new stereo, rewire speakers, etc.
b) Do the trick with the Rheostat (mine's been out for awhile)

Mostly interior stuff, and some emissions work. The engine is pretty solid. The interior needs a lot of love. Even have a dash cap that will eventually go on, and looking at a new center console.
Any suggestions / tips from you folks?
And for your enjoyment I added some in-process pics for ya.

I'm surprised you guys don't pull the window's to paint , that's always where they rust first.

They actually said there wasn't as much rust as they expected, which surprised me. And it surprised them. They really thought there'd be more.

The first thing that should be bolted to the truck after it leaves the shop is an ARB collision bar (also known as a bull bar/ roo bar/ winch bar).
If you hit a deer once - what's to say it won't happen again?

That's the plan... and I do live at the foothills of the Rockies, so once the $$ starts to flow again, this is seriously going to happen.
