I've been trying to do that with the truck. It's taken several years with lots of life interruption and it's still not done yet....and I do have access to all the stuff I mentioned.
Restorations can be incredibly hard and very expensive it you want to put it back to stock. There is no difference if you want to upgrade them and make them more "modern" with the drivetrain and systems available in more recent year models, and keep the old look at the same time. A lot is involved, lots of fabricating is necessary.
