Frame off restoration help

Hi everybody - I have started a frame off restoration and looking for game plan ideas..... I have never done this before but have been doing this slow and calculated from the start... currently I have a freshly powdercoated frame and ready to start to build up with new parts..... Here' s a list of all the new parts I have already and ready to install:
front rotors and Wilwood brakes
rear disc conversion kit with rotors and Wilwood brakes
front and rear lowering kit - 4.5 / 6 with new springs, flip kit and drop spindles
tubular upper and lower control arms
freshly painted rear axle with new bearings and seals

My main question is this.... is there an order a person should follow to do the build up? I'm looking for a process I should follow. I'll be buying all new parts and want to do it right and not have to go backwards along the way due to poor planning.

Things I have planned and hope to achieve: rear gas tank, possible LS swap....

A helpful set of guidelines would be greatly appreciated so I can buy the parts in the right order I'll need them for to start putting it back together.
