That is quite an ambitious project, even for somebody with skills. I agree with Martin, you will be miles and dollars ahead spending more money and buying something that is running and complete. Maybe something that was restored 10 or more years ago that just needs freshening up. A project like that is going to take allot of time and chances are, you will get frustrated and tired of working on it to the point that you abandon the project before you finish like many others.

Keep looking, there out there. Good Luck!
