Hey man cool car. And as far as "taking alot of time to get it going" ... hey thats the fun of it!

Back off when you get burned out or if working on it interfers with school or a paying job .... both should come first.

The biggest thing I can think of, and it sounds cheesy, but after you get it running do not (underline that!) drive it on the road until you have insurance and a license. Sh*t happens, and no one thinks bad things will happen to them but it sometimes does. I am not BSing on this!

Enjoy your car, visualize now how you want it to turn out (but keep a open mind for change) and keep an eagle eye out for the parts to accomplish that. Good deals can be had with patience! You'll have a blast.

Good luck and take alot of pictures for looking back later and feel free to post a few here.
