69 Convertible Cutlass needs new life !

Hello there ! Just got myself into a major project. I bought a 69 convertible Cutlass S verified through the vin decoder. She's gonna need a full restoration that's for sure. I drove it 120mi home so it does run. The motor and tranny are about the best thing it has going. Power top works although it's missing one support bracket so it needs some help up and down. Has it's far share of rust. I'm hoping to get some advice from the community. Thanks in advance
