the first thing is to decide which direction you are going. i.e. original resto, custom, wild, etc. Then you can accumulate catalogs and resources (this site is the best resource) and begin your parts buying! yippeee!! Got to make sure your tools are up to the task (especially if doing the work yourself). I have had to delay my time schedule several times because of equipment upgrades taking my extra cash from the project parts. I am currently entertaining the idea of an air compressor upgrade to the tune of $700, so there is a money-driven delay.
