Hi,

So, as the title says I am new to the forums so I thought I'd introduce myself. I am currently a Soldier in Afghanistan and when I get home I am buying a '74 Javelin that I've had my eyes on for the past few years.

The body is good, it will need a new paint job though, but the interior is extremely faded and the flooring is torn to hell. The engine is a V8 (I am getting exact info in an email from the current owner) but is needing a good scrubbing and TLC.

I was wondering what advice you all have before begining this project? I am relatively new to restoring a vehicle (read: first timer here), but I have some experience to draw from (the folks and friends) who've done this type of thing before (my dad restored a '59 Edsel multiple times and they all looked great, but he has since passed).

Hey, thanks for the help in advance.
