My plan was/is

1. strip/paint engine block
2. strip/paint firewall
3. strip/paint section of front frame where the stock cross-member bolts too
4. strip/paint stock cross member
5. bolt painted cross-member to painted section of frame
6. tape off/cover freshly painted surfaces
7. repeat section by section until complete
