New to the forum and to A-bodies - advice on a build direction

Get what you have running and drive it then go from there thats my $.02 the car has paint on it so dont get into that just yet get it running decide if you like it and want to keep it then finish the body/paint/ etc. another thing is you can color match the hood and trunk then wet sand and buff...or clear coat the whole car wetsand and buff...also it looks like it is mor ein a condition where it needs to be assembled nbefore paint and body just to be sure you have everything that it needs to go down the road...you may find you need little things,bnuts bolts clips springs etc. things that add up... take time to find.
