First place to start on a restoration?

[YenkoChevelle69]

Hello I am about to start my very first resto. Besides the fact that my frame is bad. My 1969 Chevelle is a vynil top car from Conneticut. Thanks the the vynil top my filler panel is "crunchy" so I need one of them. Also it is rusty at the very bottom of the sail panels, Thus making the need for full quarters that much more great. Needs Inner and outer tubs, fenders, door skins, and nic nacs. It needs full floors, but under the rear seat seems to be ok. I purchased the toe panels and full driver and passenger floors already. I am going to try to get a picture of my trouble spot and post it later. It's the level part of the the trunk that butts up to the backseat divider. it has a couple holes. Is it ok to just patch that? Any suggestions would be wonderful. The replacement trunk pans do not go high enough. But what I would like to know is what panel do I cut first? do I replace the floors? or 1/4s first? or what? I figured that since alot of you folks on here have really rare and nice cars that you would know. Thanks in advance.
