Hey Bill, the good news is you are getting back at it and bringing her back to life. It could be worse - my '69 sat ~20 years before I found it - ended up part of an estate sale. The car got parked after the motor blew and the owner never got back to it. I've had to do a complete frame off. Lot's of great help here on this site.
Please be sure to come over to the C3 sections and introduce yourself there - not many of those guys get over to the intro section.
