68 Firebird Project - Where do I start?

Hey everybody. I just made an account for this website, as I just bought a 68 Firebird to restore this past weekend. I've never restored a car before, but it's a hobby I've wanted to pick up for a while now. So now I just have to figure out where to start. I thought I would post some pics on here and see what you knowledgeable folks can tell me about where I should start and where to go from there?







What I have noted so far is that the engine runs, so I thought my first step would be to remove the rust from this car. It looks like that means replacing most of if not all of the body panels and sand blasting and coating the frame. I figure once that is done I'd work on the engine, then replace all of the glass, then the interior, then finally paint it. Is this a logical way to do it?

Any help or insight you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
