Welcome pnsy56shop to the site.
Looks like a fun project - take your time and ask allot of questions, plenty of help and normally you only get one shot at doing a car. I've owned a number of Calif Specials over the years (currently a J code GT with bench seat) build around the same times as your car
As far as good publications IMHO there are none, one of the reasons we put together this site. The hobby (mostly due to the internet) is progressing much quicker than in the past so much of what get printed can be out of date fairly quick. At the same time some of the basics have been well researched but its the real details that will make the difference between another restoration and one that is on the cutting edge of our current understanding.
A decent first step would be to get a copy of the current MCA Judging rules.
I most (kindly) warn you that since your doing a San Jose car in the north east it will be important to ask allot of questions and for support since your car will often be very different from other cars you will find in your area. So consider starting your own thread (include your VIN and details) over in the 67-68 section and we can get started. Plenty of people here with experience with full restorations.
We're here to help
PS - the first picture you posted appears to be a Marti report from another car
