Default 1st time Corvette owner

Hi - Greetings from Denmark my name is Anders.

I have just purchased my first American car ever, a Corvette C3 1972 with automatic transmission. The car is a restoration project that the previous owner almost finished, but he got sick and I have taken over.
It was love at 1st sight and now I am looking forward to get it out on the street, but there is still some details that need to be fixed and I hope to find some guidens at this forum as I am completely new to this kind of car.

/Anders
