Looks like you got a good foundation there and I hope you enjoy your build. Too bad 'bout the door and fender tho...

Misfit, you are off to a very good start. There are many projects out there that can be had for a fraction of the cost of starting from scratch. By buying someone else's project you may have just saved yourself a few years of work. 
If you post your wants in the classifieds of this site, there are many who will have parts you need at lower prices than you will see on Ebay. A lot of the members will even give things away to fellow members just to get them out from under foot.
Good luck, Jag
