I like David Freiberger's advice on large projects... "don't get it right, just get it running" so you can use and enjoy it while you refine things.
Also, save the paint detailing until last on the list. The added stress of wrenching on a finished paint car is not on my list of desirable activities. There are way more pressing wrinkles to iron out!
Spot on advice.

Wet sanding/buffing paint is for later, not now.
