Default Build for my father

My father just passed away this last week and he had this C6 he was obsessed with fixing. Most people including myself told him it was a waste of time and money. But he started getting parts anyways stubborn as always. Well now I have the C6 and wanted to fix it like he wanted. I know I got myself into something pretty expensive and difficult. But I know it's something he really wanted to do and it's something I can keep and remember him by.... I was hoping for some advice and opinions during this long rebuild. These are the only pictures I have as of right now... the front frame rails are both done which is the scariest thing right now. I have to wait until I get back down to Miami. I am currently stationed in Alaska but I will be back home in November when I will be starting the project. What I would like is information on a decent frame shop in the Miami area that can tell me what I am dealing with and see if it can be fixed.
