Major Component storage during renovation.

[Jim Dickinson]

The old building I am going to use for working on the Cubs is almost repaired, so I am about to start on either the 1936 J2, or the 1945 J3 renovation. I could not find answers to this particular issue here on the forum, am dividing it into two parts:

!. What major component do you do first, fuselage, wings, tail feathers?
2. To what extent does a person finish the component for storage before full aircraft assembly. For example, is it best to store the rebuilt wings with or without cover?

While I have built a Pietenpol, and helped work on a Cub and Champ, two of the three exhibited some storage "rash", I would appreciate your knowledge in these matters.
