It's a lot of work, but so worth. Don't let it intimidate you, but don't grow fond of any extra cash you might have around.

Welcome! Some basic tips -

+ Have a plan but be prepared to change it as you go
+ Take plenty of pics before you start and as you go so you know how it goes back together
+ Put everything in zip locks (that fit!) and label them with a sharpie - every bolt nut and cotter key even if you're going to replace it 'cause you may need it for size or thread reference later

So what is the plan? Street? Trail? Combo? Restomod? Cut or uncut? Lift? Tires? Etc??

Good luck!
