Good ideas! That is what I did this past summer. I had so much fun, and I actually got paid for it!!!! Find the local hot rod boat shop and start hanging out there, just being there you will pick up tons of info.

rebuilding motor- keep everything in order...... main caps, etc.

Buy the Dennis More book on sbc power, go junk yarding, find a basic 4 banger, and tear it apart, put it back together.

www.howstuffworks.com one of the best sites out there, and they have pictures ;)

As far as school, not sure about how it is out there, but our tech school is a joke. It is rated high, but I dont think I learned a thing there, except to lock my doors and hide my valuables.

Whenever you have a question about cars/boats/engines ask on here, most people have knowledge of those, with 20k members at least someone has an answer.

Thanks fellas, I appreciate the serously replys, and no one bashing me kind of like sutphen but thats only cause I joke around with him alot--hes a good guy.

But anyways, they dont offer stuff like that at my school because they say I go to a "private" school and they want us being like doctors and lawyers and stuff so they dont offer machine classes or anything which sucks.
