Ford Mustang: Hi, all, new to this group

First, I have read about a month and a half's worth of posts and
haven't seen any reference to a FAQ. Is there one for this group and
if so where is it, please? I don't want to piss off anyone here.

I just bought a 69 Coupe today, although I actually won't have it
until at least next weekend. Got it at a place locally here (Metro
Phoenix, AZ area) called Arizona Mustang Mart. They seemed like decent
folks. Anyone here have any experience with them? (Yes, I should have
asked that before I bought the car :-) )
Paid $1000 USD for it, it is basically a rolling chassis, which is
really all I could afford. It seems rust free and doesn't have any
major damage. I plan on putting the 302 and C4 from my 68 Ranchero
into it at some point. I also my try putting the GT hood scoop with
the working turn signals from it onto the Mustang as well.
BTW, anyone around here want a rough 68 Rancher rolling chassis REAL
cheap?

Which brings up my next question. I came across a book on Ebay that
says it crossreferences parts from other Ford models that will work on
Mustangs. Anyone familiar with this book and is it worth getting? I am
not going to be building a concours type car, just basically a
restomod(yes, I have been reading the Mustang magazines this past
week) and would like to upgrade as much as possible while being on a
really limited budget. I am looking at a 4 year or so time frame for
getting this car on the road, so I am not in a big hurry. :-)

Just in case anyone wonders, this is my ideal Mustang. I had one in
high school in 76-77 (yellow and I cruised Central a lot if any one
here was around Phoenix back then) and am looking at recreating that
car with some newer technology.
