I agree with you. get the chassis together and running and up to speed. by that time you will have figured out how to approach the body. you are correct in that it would cost more then it is prob worth to have the body done in a shp. you can get to the body at a later date and take it in steps, regarding wood, rust, paint, topping, etc.
you can decide down the road if you want to sub any of the tough jobs out, that you might not be interested in, but you can go upside down quickly, so best to tackle everything on your own in a methodical way.
First thing to consider, how well do you want to restore the car? driver or top end show......... and go from there.
good luck and enjoy the journey.
