May Need SoCal Member's Help! Roadtrip...

So I'm planning for a random road trip in a month. I was thinking of driving up to San Francisco using PCH followed by a couple days in Yosemite then coming down back through all the scenic routes. I'd most likely do this on my own and it will be my first major road trip. The plan for now is to go in my 2011 Scion tC; however, I'd really like to take my Dart.

That's where I need help. If it can be done, I'd need help making my Dart reliable enough to handle a trip. Right now the firewall needs to be patched, MC installed, and new brake lines bent and installed. That will get the car stopping. For a trip like this, I'd definitely need a suspension rebuild. I'd also not trust my 7 1/4 so my 8 3/4 in the garage should be installed imo. Then I might as well get new wheels and tires. All topped with new fluids. My question is, would anyone be able to help me work and get my car reliable and running as I don't have many skills and tools? I'm willing to learn and taking a road trip in an old car has always been on my bucket list. Thanks for all your help and advice.
