I'm new and I'm gonna need help.

Hello all, I'm new to the HAMB. Was referred here by a guy in Dinuba,Ca. I have a 1930 hudson coach body and frame that I want to have some fun with but I have no clue where to start. Do I start on the body or frame? Suspension? Motor? I have no clue. Any help would be appreciated. I'm looking to spend 5k and want to be done in 5 years.
Parts I have: body & frame (missing front fenders and running boards) 50s Chevy drop front axel, Pontiac rear end, '79 Chevy 350 w/ automatic transmission (gotta go) front grill, headlights, and a few odds and ends... I like the rat rod look. Real low and loud. So should I c frame it? Start with the frame and suspension and then chop and channel it? Frame and motor first? If you can point me in the right direction I'd be very grateful!
