Be sure to follow up and organize your pictures and notes as soon as possible and back-up your data. All the pictures in the world do no good if a memory card/phone/computer bites the dust.
Make sure your labels and packaging will survive until you are ready for them; sometimes this is a lot longer than you imagine.
If you have someone helping you; be aware of and record what they are disassembling too.

Ain't this the truth, sure is easier to find a new part if you have a sample.
Remember, this isn't TV, most cases there is no need to reduce your car to the smallest pieces, at least not the whole vehicle at one time.
Another thing to resist is prematurely removing all the paint from a car only to have it end up outside or in poor storage and get severely rusted.
