Restoration steps?

So I'm at the point where everything is off but the cab and the engine so im thinking from here i should do all this:
remove cab and engine
shorten frame
powdercoat frame/axle
buy new brakes, suspension, power steering, etc.
powdercoat engine block, do whatever work needs to be done to it.
buy new transmission
buy sheet metal floor, firewall, rockers, start working on the cab
once the cab is finished and primed, install new cab supports
install new doors and line up and adjust
take cab off, get the inside painted
install electrical and dash components
make sure the truck starts
buy 67 front end, install and align as needed
buy new box, install sides, front and rear, adjust if necessary
take the front end off, get it painted, reinstall
same thing with the box


have i missed anything?
obviously it isnt this easy but i just need to make sure i dont miss any steps
