1969 Roadrunner Restoration

I am brand new to this forum and I am looking for any help/advice/commets etc....on restoring my 69 roadrunner.

I have a 1969 plymouth roadrunner 440, 4 spd. That my father bought for me when I was first born for my first car. I ran it alil bit when I first turned 16 but the radiator blew in it and it has been sitting for the past 11 yrs. I graduated from college and am now making money and am looking to totally restore it. I do not have any pics of the car with me now...but will post some when i get off my ship in about a month.

I dont know all that much about cars. I want to know where is the best place to start looking for parts, etc...? And if anyone else has any helpful tips when starting a restoration?

Thank you for your help!

Thanks for all the great advice so far. I appreciate it. I will post some pics of it once I get of my ship in about a month. As for the question regarding the rust. There is quite abit especially under the real window...the truck filler piece def needs replaced. Seems yearone has alot of great parts so far.
