Agree on brakes first. However, being cheap, I would try the booster first. I put a used one on my 68 and it worked fine. It took less than an hour, just go slow bending the brake lines. Even if it works, I would still go through and rebuild the brakes (costs around $200 in parts and machining on mine front and rear), then change all fluids.

Making sure it is safe to drive should be your first priority, then reliability, then cosmetics.

Best advice I got was to get it running and driving first, then tackle other things (body, interior, etc) one at a time. It is easy to get excited and strip it down to nothing, then get overwhelmed and abandon it since you can never seem to see the end of the tunnel.

Have fun.
