Welcome aboard. First thing I will suggest is to add a location to you user controls. I see you've gotten a T top car. Beware of the rust issues they have. Hope it isn't an issue for you though.
Do a lot of reading and ask questions. There really are no dumb question, belive me. I've asked quite a few of them. It will take you time to figure out what you're going to do with her but you will get there. I've just started my rustomod and it's been a learning experience to say the least. If you get frustraighted take a break and do some reading on here to help you out. Good luck and once again, welcome aboard.
