Replacing the frame, finally, with a new galvanized one
#11
I had a shop replace all my hard brake lines last year. They fabricated them. All in with labor and fluid flush was about $1k.

If you feel like a do it yourself brake line option. Atlantic British has a kit $200 that includes all brake lines cut to length with connectors. You just need to hand bend them copying the old lines. Using a tool makes it look nicer.

Well, I'm planning on an engine overhaul in the near future so I'll probably be asking you questions on that. I'm going to get a welder friend of mine to weld repair the spots on the frame that need it. The two locations are on either side of the fuel tank. I hope to have this done in the next few weeks.
Let us all know when you move on the frame.

You can pull bumpers, shocks, sway bars, exhaust, hitch, O2 sensors, abs sensors, interior like you mentioned, T-case shifter, park brake mechanism, steering damper.
All that said, I don't think it will save you a ton to go that in depth. I'd pull bumpers and interior and leave the rest. If you start getting too into it, it will be hard to keep track of what you've done and what they've done. You'll end up paying for time that they're trying to find parts you removed, or them trying to confirm that a certain part was not their responsibility. It will mess with their flow and they won't be as fast overall.
I know doing contract work I don't even price partial jobs any more. I've had too many issues with people coming back on me thinking something should have been done differently because their finishing technique didn't line up with my own.
