Restore

Ok I'm getting ready to start a big projet it's called let's restore my 79! as if I even have time to do such a thing, but anyway. I wanna go from the ground up, I can do most of the body work myself, I'm gonna fabricate a custom flatbed for her, and I'm not even sure on the engine, although If I can find a good Jasper Rebuilt, I'll get er done. ok now my question is where should I start as I've never attempted anything like this?
