1) Grab the chassis measurements diagram from this site and make all those measurements. That itself could be a go/nogo moment. Take pictures of every part of the body - I wish I had taken many more pics.

nth-ing read up on all the classic build threads. Helps formulate an overall strategy. Start your own build thread!

2) Build a dolly and door braces. This is a good chance to polish up the welding skills.

3) Start buying metal and cutting and welding. Again, agree with the emphasis on safety gear. For a long haul project, long term effects of dust and vapor, loud noise, etc. can be just as bad as losing a chunk of you in one quick accident.
