That's my plan, mechanical stuff doesn't scare me. I have a garage full of tools at home and not afraid to tear anything apart. I absolutely HATE having to pay someone to work on my cars. That's always my last resort, lolWelcome to the site from Houston. Good luck with the search. My free advice....hold out for the best body you can find/afford. The mechanical stuff is the easy part. The body and interior is the hard part.
