Default chassis frame build

Hello everyone, i have a 89 lx that is my 1st owned mustang and i crashed it within the year i had it.i pulled the motor , trans and swapped it to my 88 gt.I still have the damaged frame and chassis i plan on repairing the damage on my own or with what help i get along the way (even thought of paying a frame shop to straighten).The car has been sitting for 1+years and i have a few so much free time (no job)and id like to have some fun .One setback is that i lack welding skills and i want to integrate some tubing to this chassis (i have friends that can weld but seems like we have different ideas).I am looking for some insight and pointers on whatever you may have to help (tools,tubing,measurements ).
Here is a quick view of some things i am planning on doing. I have some skills with fiberglass(not so much with bodywork)

-getting as much weight removed as possible
-tube chassis reinforcements
-custom fenders
i want to go with a 4.0 v6 but i have not yet decided if anything it will be a budget build and for sale with or with out the heart/soul(motor &trans)
Thanks for reading (correct my grammar&punctuation --
