Johnhodges80 said:The best way to start as i did myself at a young age is to get your self a project car. Something that you can take apart and put back together without having to drive it everyday. I started when i was 14 buy saving up a few hundered bucks and buying a 1979 mustang 5.0 It ran but it needed a transmission and it was wrecked in the front so i began redoin the car.
I kept on putting my allowance and my grass cutting money into it and when i got my license 2 years later i had a decent ride. You could also put add ons on your Clbalt and tinker around with it. Or get a chilton book or Haynes manual and study them they show the whole engines and transmissions inside out. Good luck
