I would buy any parts I would need to get it running up to par. I wait for body stuff until the car is running how I like.

I have a pair of corner lights in acceptable condition. The driver side's plastic bracket is broken though so you'd have to find a way to keep it flush.

Windshield, then corners, then tails.

Then worry about the hood, and bumper, then paint.

How about using some of it to pay for shipping for the item I purchased from you last month?

since you already have reliable power with no problems I'd focus on making the car look better. I think you should do the hood, windshield, corners, overfenders then bodywork and paint.

The battery box should be at the top of your list.

Battery Box / Front 5 lug / Corner Lights

Should be doable with $500?
