Hi Jordan

The one thing you can do that will cost minimal money but repay you with a wealth of experience that can otherwise take years to learn is to get an old bomb of a car and a workshop manual for that car and totally dismantle it and reassemble it.

In that way you get to know how a car is put together and how the pieces function together.

From that point on all cars are basically the same with the only minimal differences between makes and components used.

Any mistakes you make will not be hugely expensive and will provide a major learning curve for you.

Building a GT40 is not that difficult if you have the basic understanding of how all the individual parts work and must come together.

Some skills you can develop and some things that require specialised skills can be farmed out but the more you can do yourself the more costs you can save but one of the most important skills is knowing when to do something yourself and when to give it to those that have the specialised knowledge or tools to do the job correctly.

If you have the drive and the correct frame of mind you will succeed at whatever you set for yourself.

You have already taken the best step you can by getting involved with this forum as the wealth of knowledge here is second to none.

All the best
