That's a good idea.. get some 'wins' first... and hold some 'smaller' things back so you can break up the bigger phases.
I;m about to jump into driveline work (tranny/transfer/axles) and while not super hard, everything weighs a ton, and is caked with grease/dirt... so I have a month of work (getting fixtures, cleaning, getting parts) before I even get to work.
The payoff will be a rolling chassis all primed up!!! That means I can sit on the frame and make 'vroom vroom!' noises. AW YEAH!
