Swaping parts out here and there to make it your own is not that difficult. There are multiple companies that advertise on here that have parts available. I have no idea what your budget would be, so maybe you are looking for a fastback but it will certainly cost you more.

Get yourself a subscription to Car Craft and read all of the articles, it's dirt cheap for a 2 year subsciption and you will learn a lot.

Go to as many car shows as you can and ask questions. Car guys are typically more than willing to talk about their car non stop and answer questions. Definitely make it to the Fort Worth Goodguys show in October.

Just read through build threads and other forum sections on here, you will absorb more than you think. |
Got my 2 yr subscription to Car Craft yesterday! Do you know much about older ford trucks like a '55? Such as availability of parts and if they're easy to work on. I'm between that and a mustang. I'd really love to start off learning on the truck and later once I've gained some knowledge and experience take on a mustang so I could really turn it into a beast.
