haha agree'd but welcome to the worst addiction for the rest of you're life. There is a wealth of info on this site so welcome aboard and good luck with the project!

welcome! just remember that doing it right the first time, has better effects on the pocket book later on down the road lol. my advice is search the forums and just read threads of builds. thats mainly how i learned how to do this stuff other than just getting out in the shop and getting dirty.

man whats up with 720's commin outta the woodworks here in the last year?

Right on buddy, my advise to you is to read, read and when you get sick of reading... read some more!!
Theres tons of useful information on this site and plenty of others like www.infamousnissan.com which will help alot.

Like said above, always do the work right the first time.

As far as parts are concerned, look up michigan metal works on here. Taylors a great guy to deal with, his products are top notch and hes got most anything you will need for your project.
Good luck!!
