First Time Builder...

[DIYrat]

I'm living in Washington on a shoe string budget.I got tired of looking at stuff on Ebay that I could never afford and decided to do something about it.Sooo I found this 35 ford 4 door for a price that I could afford,$125...Lol.Then I got this 79 Caddillac for $400.I live in a quiet little neighborhood,and I don't have a shop.So my neighbors probably flipped thier biscuts when they saw me start to accumulate the things I would need to make this thing happen.Anyway,me,a friend,and my 86 year old dad tryed to get the caddy cut up and out of the driveway before the wife got home...we were unsuccessful.Well,I believe this project is a skill level 10 and I'm only a 3. So I'm here to steal Ideas ,take advice and whatever else it takes to make this thing do a "smokey burnout"!
