Sounds like a decent plan, just stick to it. $10K will buy you a good project car that someone has started and gave up on, or buy you an older build done car that need caressing. E Bay and the auto trader rags are a good place to start looking. If you want all new stuff, check some of the "package" prices available from various builders. Go on Google search and type in '34 Ford cars and get ready to sort through a ton of results. Either that or leave the $10k in the bank drawing interest, and use it to pay for more of your education. I'm still able to remember back to the age of 16 on my more coherent days, I recall doing the school thing, and working part time jobs to keep my Hot Rod up and running. Any c's or lower on the report card and pops would gather up all my toys and put me back to cruizin on a bicycle!! Thought he was really mean at the time, but didn't take long for me to realize he was making me live up to standards that would do me good the rest of my life. Have fun, cp, just keep your priorities right!!!!!!
