Good luck with your restoration!
Sheldon Brown's site is a great resource for you as far as maintenance is concerned
Do you plan on riding this bike or just preserving it and hanging it on the garage wall?
Thank you everyone for your opinions

I do plan on riding it. I has been sitting in a garage for the past 30+ years. I plan on riding it for now i've cleaned up the rims nicely, i've so far left everything alone i've lubed up the chain and the brake and shifting cables. i'm just waiting for the tires and tubes to come in. Then i'm going to go on a mission to find the brakes. After that she should be good as new with a few spot of surface rust that'll be taken care of here and there.
