Welcome, Rachel! 

Nice Mopar ride you found! Very relaxing with Mopar big block power. 
Quite a combo! :-)

Check out http://www.1962to1965mopar.ornocar.com/restore2003.html for 
some vendor suggestions. 

As an aside, I just realized that I've been piecing that list together 
for, yikes, over 8 years! (Feeling much older now.) :-)  When I first 
started compiling the list there were hardly ANY vendors who carried '62 
to '65 stuff. So it has gotten better. 

My 2c are a lot like others have noted: 

Lead additive. Use if you want, but unless you drive hard and long at 
high RPM's it's not critical. Over the years the valve seal area have 
been coated with lead from the old formula real gas. Put in some topoil 
like Marvel if you wish; it won't hurt.

Brakes. Make sure what you have matches the Chrysler design. Replace all 
the brake lines & hoses with new, wheel cylinders too, or rebuild the 
cylinders correctly. Keep the drums and switch to a dual master cylinder 
with drum if you'd feel better with it. The single reservoir units work 
fine IF the rest of the system is up to par.

Electrical: buy a Factory Service Manual

Other: Join in the gab 'round here and have some fun with your Newport!  
:-)

Regards,
Gary H.
