Ron, I drove my '68 to school as well. Took it to my 20 year class reunion and parked it the same spot. My 30 comes up next year and guess what I'll be driving. There was a time I had to let mine sit for a while, and people started saying "if you're not going to fix that up, sell it to me." Needless to say, I got'r'done. I didn't come across this site untill a few months ago and have been avid with it since. You've gotten good advise so far. Like the others, I say get the mechanics sound before you do the beautifying part. Not only is it a matter of safety for ALL, but you wouldn't want to scratch up something in the process of repairing something else. Like Jim says, if there is some rust to address, you don't want to let it get much farther ahead of you.
