Sounds like a good plan. Don't be fooled by the age and apparent simplicity of older cars; the amount to learn just on your year and model is huge. Don't be surprised if in a couple years you're replying to questions that are directly in your area of expertise saying "I'm not sure, but..." as that's how many of us feel even after some years in this hobby, talking and learning regularly.
I'm not sure what my point is, as I'd imagine you're not new to classics if you're buying a car of that age...
Anyway, thanks for posting. Nice car. Don't be afraid to post questions as long as it's not one of the endless debates/discussions that pop up from time to time, like oil weight, radial vs. bias, or paint colors.
I have started to make a prioritized list of items to purchase and to conduct research on.
