Welcome to the forum!
What's the planned usage for the car? That's the determining factor in helping decide a route to take. I'd start with a plan written out, and a budget, then go from there to put together a way to get there. I'd never start a project just buying items without a plan first.

Welcome to CF. Being this is a projects and build section you posted in, I'm moving the thread to the general 2nd gen section.

Default Plan it first

I am with BB on this. Gotta figure out what you are gonna use it for first, then get a plan on the best setup, then go get the parts. Best you can do is talk to guys in your area and see different setups. It will give you an idea of where you want to go with it and some of the problems they experienced on the way there.
