Do you intend to finish this yourself or have some or all of it done by a shop or a shade tree mechanic? I'd figure that out first. Make a list of what you can do, then think about it again.
Ask Dr. Clock for a review of what the project needs. Listen to him and the guys who can lay claim to having built a car, not just to have prettied one up by adding some headlight grills, hood straps and a luggage rack.
Discount the rest of us who are only qualified to provide opinions on aesthetics, myself included.
Good luck!!
