Welcome, Steve.
Dale's right, there's SOOO much knowledge already ON the forums here. I spend a LOT of time just reading past pages of stuff
The first question you have to have answered is "What do you want out of the restoration?" How far do you want to go towards perfection, and do you want it modified or original?
That decision will guide all the rest of the work.
Have fun,
Brian
