Where to start?
Over the last couple of weeks I have been beating down doors at places that have dent sides just sitting, rusting away, trying to find a diamond in the rough for a donor bed and cab. After examining literally dozens of dent sides over the last few week, I have come to the realization thay my truck is in pretty damn good shape. I have decided to work with what I already have rather then find donor parts. So my question is... where do I start?
This is planned to he a full on, ground up restomod. All areas will be addressed. I have ordered most of the interior pieces, but want to wait until after paint to install it. Should I just begin to purchase as much as I can accumulate over the next year so that when I finally pull the trigger on the body work, I will be ready for a somewhat speedy reassembly? I enjoy drivong the damn thing too much to pull it off the road right now, but my Mustang will be ready for the roads by next weekend, so I can start driving it again.
What would you do first?

To me a well laid out plan, including contingencies, makes for a better project. Doing so also keeps you on track and provides milestones towards reaching your ultimate goal.
