Welcome.. to the scene..

As far as where to begin, be realistic, and create an action plan with your requirements.. because god knows they will creep later.

Look at how much you want to spend.
Look at how fast you want to go
Look at how quick you want to stop
Look at how much of an interior you want to have
Look at how much time you have to finish your project.

After you created a nice picture in your head, do a quick search, lot of folks have posted on what works for them.. just look at your car as a system of systems, and work one piece at a time.. There are many ways to skin the same cat.. it will ultimately come down to how much time, experice, access to equipement and $$$ you have..

Where here to help.
