This should get interesting
For us, one thing would be have a plan/goal in mind for the end project. I know things change but if i would've had a realistic idea of what i wanted i could've made things easier on myself.

Get things media blasted! we decided to hand sand EVERYTHING and i regret that.

Don't cut any corners, if your second guessing it at all. do it right, do it once.

Don't go cheap! you get what you pay for.

Rule of PI, plan on everything taking 3.14 times longer than expected.

If you see a little bit of rust, there's more.

When working on a part of the project try and get everything you need ahead of time to do it all at once.

We make lots of lists, thats helped out a lot.

Have fun and dont get overwhelmed. Take every piece of the whole project one part at a time. If you look at the whole project its overwhelming but broken down it makes it manageable.
