I am 19 and have had my car for three years.
-Buy a car with a good body and decent paint so your car won't sit in a paint shop for a long time.
-Make the car safe to drive before making it faster or look cooler. Remember the cars on the road today can stop and steer alot faster than older cars.
-Tackle the project in phases. I mean collect a bunch of parts and install them all at once.
-Don't get stuck on a Camaro. I had a chance to buy a 68 but kept a open mind. One day we found a 69 Nova and I fell in love with the car.
-When talking with people about car remember you have two ears and one mouth, so god meant for you two listen twice as much as you talk.
-These cars stick out much easier in todays traffic so don't drive stupid. cops love to write tickets to young kids in muscle cars. If you want to showoff go to a track and get a timeslip.
Good luck with your project.
