Where to start?

I whiteboard all the steps ahead I can think of-fill up the board. Then number the items by priority and start with #1, erasing the items from the whiteboard as I finish each step. This allows me to see ahead and shop for materials needed for the next few steps. Update the whiteboard every 3-4 weeks and after about 1,800 days you finish the car.
Just my way of doing it. Helping a friend last week on his Bronco suspension, he was struggling-I told him to think of the next six steps, pick step 1 and to that, don't overthink it!
No shortcuts and no easy way for this hobby-you are undertaking a significant project! Good luck to you!
