Default unfinished and don't know where to go

my father in-law passed about month and half ago leaving behind his 68 RS camaro. by the way it sat in the garage on jacks under a car cover looks like he was getting ready to paint it. just the trunk area is all primer and new headers in the back seat. i was thinking I'll finish what he started. but guess what i don't know any thing about Camaros. don't know where to start don't know what to look for or even look replacement parts to me the car looks OK I guess I know i got to change the headers tho.

if anyone out there can help me and point me in the right direction

thank you

Restoration and assembly manuals will come in very handy:
Camaro Restoration Guide
Camaro Assembly Manual
Camaro Service Manual

There are lots of places to get parts on the internet. The first thing you need to decide is what you want to do with the car. Are you looking to restore to original or modify it. Will it be for street driving or drag strip. Once you know what you want then you can decide which way to go.

Other parts places
Ricks camaros
Bowtie city
American restoration
Tamraz
Ebay

is the best place to start.
