No problem Pete. Shocks were and still are modular in the main on racing cars, so sure that part of the rebuild will be relatively easy. Out of curiosity, is the radiator aluminium or made from more traditional metals?
By the sound of it your marine plywood chassis / tub is in good condition, which it should be if undamaged, and the car has been kept in the dry!
With regard to crossmembers and the like, quite often if all the ‘big bits’ are offered up to their correct location, it can then be worked out where the member(s) would have gone and their shape.
