Look at it this way, when you get done you won't be a beginner anymore! You'll also have a shop full of tools, although you probably never will...
It's not just cars. I collect lots of old stuff, and other than cars, it's mostly rifles. I have bolt action rifles that date to the 1880's...

I like the concept, but it really looks like nothing more than a 40-41 1 ton or larger truck with a 1/2 ton pickup front clip on it. That'll...
