Where to start...

It's easy to get lost in a sea of parts for sure so just research one area at a time to cut down on the confusion. Plenty of good people around here willing to share advice.

I agree with Curtis. Put it all on paper, refine each section as you do some research. Keep your budget in mind at all times and just as important your realistic intended use of the car. Track car? Cruiser? Show? All of the above?

I must have built my car 150 times in my head. Once I got things researched and written down I felt much better. Now I am gathering parts and tools. And preparing my work area. I have a very clear understanding of the parts I plan to use and a detailed list of separate projects for different areas of the car.
One thing at a time, you will get it done and not feel overwhelmed by all of it.

And like Curtis said, there are a lot of great people here willing to share what they have gone through on thier own cars. I would not be where I am with my project, or my comfort level doing it myself without the help of this group of good people.
