      well to build a car correctly in my opinion is to take down to the bare frame and start rebuilding. It appears you have the work space so thats great. I have done my 64 impala in a one car garage with a limited budget and the car is comming out amazing. I also do my own sheetmetal work, and fabrication to a point so that saves on cost. Start with the frame first. Once the frame is blasted and painted, start building a rolling chassis. Then from there work on the underside of the body and once theunder side of the body is done mount it to the frame. Than you can start on body work, or motor, inside the car, ect. Thats what i did on my build and it worked out nicely. Yes money is an issue but if you have the time and space, the money will come. Be patient and ask alot of questions. Dont be afraid to do work you havent done in the past, because i surprised myself with alot of different building aspaect of the car, like floor pan feplacement, frame reinforcement, suspension modifications, wheel and tire fitment that people said wouldnt work and it did, ect. Good luck! Its all worth it in the end. If you have any questions i am here to help.
