You are in the correct place for seeking help. The sources for parts isn't as bad as you might imagine. Being you can do metal work, you have a skill that most people don't have in doing a restoration. Have you been following the thread about the Italian fellow that wrecked his 2600 Spider in Italy (look what happened to my spider) ? The car was seriously bent in the nose. The BB helped him find what he was looking for as a donor car, and now he is ready to paint.
A thought to remember, a restoration does not happen over night, but it does take methodical movement every day until it is finished. A homebuilt airplane takes about 2000 hours, as does a good restoration. Spread that out over 4-5 years and that works out to 1-2 hours a day or more depending on ones schedule. Spread your costs out over that same time frame and the expenses are alot smaller and not in overwhelming chunks. From what I know of 2600's, the hard part is going to be the tires. They are an odd size as the rims are metric 400 series. Tires are available, but not cheap. Again, I refer to the group for help.
