Do the mechanicals first. Especially any brake work or anything else that makes it safe. Then work on getting engine compartment all cleaned up and put that engine in and get it to purring so that when you shut the hood it does not have to go up and down like a sea-saw. Then start working on the cosmetics.
I take it this is not an off frame restoration?
