1976 TR6 Rebuild Project

I just purchased a 1976 TR6 with 23k miles, it has been in storage for about 28 years. A friend of mine examined the car, I have not seen it yet. Minimal surface rust on the body and interior in B+ shape. The engine was started up after changing the oil, and putting gas in the carbs (tank is likely gummed-up). I am going to try and do as much work myself as I can, so where to start?

What is the best parts website (there seems to be many) and what are the recommended brands?

How do I prioritize what to do first to get the engine running safely?

I have been advised that I will likely need to clean the fuel tank and filler tube, new fuel lines, pump and rebuild the carbs - sound right?

Anybody in the League City Texas area?

Thanks for your help - I will need it all!
