Should be a real fun project! We just finished a low budget one over the summer for a 16 year old girl. It is her first car and her high school car. Both her dad and herself had an overall "look" that they wanted... (a little old school with the wheel and tire choice), but thats ok. It turned out nice for a first car and it is absolutely "outside the box". It turns a lot of heads. Good luck with your project! It will be great to see some build pictures!!!
