I'm with Dale. Drive it, get an idea of what needs replaced, and start watching for parts. A paint job is a lot easier to swing if you don't need to do a bunch of bodywork. If you aren't in a hurry, you can get most of what you need pretty cheap. Fenders, doors, hood, etc.. are easy to swap out and can often be found cheaper than the cost to repair what you have (at least out West where I am). Heck, I have four complete spare doors, a spare hood, a parts cab, and who knows what else laying around right "just in case" because I found them for cheap. Once you have what you need, pull it into a shop and spend the winter putting it all together. Unless you REALLY enjoy the process of tearing it apart and putting it together, I'd spend as much time driving it and as little time working on it as possible.
