Welcome to the Barn there are lots of advisors here. I have received tons of help myself. If you intend to keep the car for the long haul then try to focus on one issue at a time to keep it safe and road-worthy. Electrical wiring and reliable brakes are top-o-the-list!!!!
Both of my classics were hacked up by previous owners but it has taken lots of searching to confirm 99.99999999 % of each vehicle are now "period correct" You'll find that searching for parts (no matter how small) becomes an obsession in itself.
Best of Luck.... keep posting pics of your progress.
