For just starting out you hit the jackpot right off the bat! This site will be your number one resource for any projects you want to do. As mentioned, look around this page and you will see advertising for almost ALL of the Bronco parts houses. If you are thinking about a project, use the search function near the top of the page and make sure you have something to eat, you will be reading for a while
Another great source for your Bronco building needs are more localized Bronco specific groups. Here in California there is SoCalBoncos and NorCalBroncos. They are a couple of great networks for local resources, people in the know that may stop by on the weekend and lend a knowing hand. If you add you location in to your profile it will show up on the left hand side of your posts, that will help people here to suggest local help and suppliers for you with every post you make.
The one other thing I would suggest is for you to develope a plan for what you want to end up with by the aniversery deadline, then work towards the plan. You will need to know how your Father is planning to wheel/drive the Bronco to develope that plan.
Have a great project,
Dan
