I am new to the whole build a car from a kit idea. I am a 19 year old college student who has loved the 427 Cobra since I first saw it about ten years ago. I want to build one when I get out of school in three years, but I have absolutely no experience in cars at all. I am learning to weld this year due to my major being mechanical engineering. My inexperience is the reason that I want to learn about the whole kit-building process three years prior to even thinking about building one.

Where would I start to learn about certain processes of car-building? What would be some other skills that I would need to learn other than welding, ie. machinig? What kind of welding would be the best to learn? And generally any other comments or points would be very helpfull.

Thank you.
