The singular biggest piece of advice I can give anyone is DON'T TAKE MORE THAN ONE CAR APART AT A TIME!!!! Ideally, only own one project car at a time. Finish it first, then do another. I had 4 cars apart at one time when the Cutlass was apart, and that is part of the reason it took so long. As for what they were, Here is the rundown of the other three: 1973 AMC Javelin AMX 360/Go Pack, 1979 AMC Spirit with a 360 swap, and a 1995 Nissan Sentra wreck rebuild. The Javelin wound up sold for parts, the Spirit I still have and I did drive it for a year or two but it never was right, the Sentra was bought to flip, but wound up my daily driver for several years until I wrecked it. I also have had my truck in various stages of disrepair during this time, and usually could not afford to keep 2 cars going at once, let alone build any of my projects into nice cars. So, now I am down to the truck, Cutlass and AMC Spirit. The Spirit is my first car, but will be sold off within the next few months with the rebuilt engine from the AMX put in it. The money from that will buy the new wheels, and other stuff needed to finally complete the Cutlass. Had I not started all these projects, my life would have been simpler. Don't make my mistake. Keep it simple unless you make good money and have a stable situation.
