Don't let yourself get overwhelmed before you even start. Not having a torch is a good thing. When you start using a torch for these kinds of projects you should already be very familiar with what your doing.
Try to keep in mind that everything in life is made easier with preparation. So make preparation part of your process. Get reading material, just a simple hanes book will have everything you need to know about the chassis and componants. You don't need to go out and buy all the hardware yet but set aside some cash and don't fall victim to sticker shock those bolt prices will add up. Know which bolts to use, there is a reason people don't use grade 8 bolts every where and grade 5 are much less expensive.
If you really feel you can't tackle this get a few quotes for one of the sponsored shops on this site. Remember if your going to do it, then do it. Don't believe you're going to easily sell a project vehicle.
There are no special skills needed for this project except patients and organization. It's just a matter of extracting a lot of bolts and then replacing them.
Being aware of your abuilities and the fact that you inquired before beginning indicates to me you are ready to give this one a shot. It's going to be time consuming but the rewards afterwards and the gained knowledge will inspire to do many more difficult projects in the future.
I have no experience with glass tubs, except heresay and what I've heard is cheap tubs are just that cheap with misalign body mounts poor bracing and unfinished edges.
