All good advice so far. My little pearl of wisdom is this: don't rip the car apart until you have saved up the money for the paint and body. I know that means doing nothing with it for quite some time but WAY too many cars are ripped apart and sold a few years later in boxes. I'm not trying to be pessimistic, just a bit of a realist.

If I were in your shoes, I'd buy the parts and save some of the money before taking it apart.
