my suggestion is probaly different from everyone else here. But unless you have a very nice bank role it is really hard to have a rolling project that actully gets finished, i remember when I was young and got my first car as a rolling project it was easy building a second runnig gear, but when it cam,e down to serious body work it would take my truck off the road. My advise is to get a reliable transportation then look for your old but goodie to start in on.. Just my thought on it.. But its good to see the youth of america still interested in the rodding world of wrench turning
