Struggling with my project

front end: like the guy says, you can do it with the proper tools, sometimes they can be used from the local parts store. they che=arge you for the tool, credit you back when you return it. I have taken all my front suspension out, then take the upper A arms and lower arms to the shop and just pay them to remove and install the new bushings. the old ones can be quite a chore to remove.

body work: the best advice is enroll in a course at a tech school. if you have to learn as you do it, tackle on piece at a time, while you learn and build your skills.

if you can make some friends with this same hobby, pool your labor and equipment, one guy has a good compressor, you buy a D A sander, share and help each other. you make good friends, and help each other lear, and motivate each other,

realize out society expects immediate gratification. sometimes the work on that old musclecar is a long road!! its not always the destination, BUT the journey... my route is get it safe and driving, then fix the rust, and work on the re st as time, money, and desire propels ya! good luck...
