The first thing you have to get done is the suspension and brakes. BUT, if the rust is so bad that you can't hang new parts on it, then take care of the rust first. Once you get it safe to drive, then work on the engine and other chassis running parts. Once that is accomplished, then body work and interior work. The last thing is wheels and stereo.
I fixed your Fastball. This is not your first Rodeo is it? If it is, then here is a good article you need snuggle up to.
