Hey Don, welcome to the site. Do you have a completion date in mind? I didn't, I In my case my 72 Charger was my daily driver back in the late 80's, I treated it and used it just a car. All the while it was what I had always wanted and did think it was cool; never abused it but since it was different colours and had scratches and dings I wasn't overly protective of it.
I would have been happy with it being all one colour and rust-free, car was originally from North Carolina but I live in Canada and we get our winters and salted roads so some rust did develop in the usual places. I stopped driving it in 1992 and pulled it apart starting in 2010.
My approach was to strip it right down, bag and tag parts and take lots of photos (wish I had taken more) bought the factory service manual and a parts manual and joined the forums. I was not in a hurry due to money and time, it's my only car other than my daily driver, not getting another one and will keep this car indefinitely.
I have a lot of magazine articles (Mopar Action, HPM, Mopar Muscle, etc) from back in the day on suspensions, steering columns, vinyl roofs, stripping parts, etc. I refer to those as well.
Once I stripped (used mostly tools in my tool box) the car down I took inventory of what parts I would restore or replace, always choosing original parts if possible. I had been buying/selling and collecting parts for years.
Body - removed my undercoating in my garage with a propane torch and scraper.
- doors I stripped with a 3M wheel on my drill and soda blasted.
- Fenders did the same but then got them chemically dipped.
Suspension - doing it all myself.
Interior - doing myself (debating headliner)
Engine - bought a replacement
Shell - sent out for body work and paint (i'm not a bodywork guy)
Doing the assembly myself.
I'm now 53, owned it at 21, good luck and you will get a lot of good advice here.
