Advice for what?  Get a shop then.  Not sure what you are looking for or what you are doing.  If you want to do it, then do it.  If you don't have the space, room, or right tools to do it then don't.  I would rather be working in a nice warm heated garage then outside in the cold on gravel.  It is all up to you.

Look at it this way Hotrod, at least you're tryin. At least you have the desire. That puts you ahead of a lot of people. Hang in there and remember- where there's a will...

That's how my dad built his 454 when he was 18, built it right in my room (well it was his back in the day). He also rebuilt his tranny as well.. lets just say if you plan on putting in new carpet, go right ahead. lol

I'm doing my body off under a 20x40 canopy;





But it's right out side of my 14x14 work shop.

I assembled my engine in MY family room;



I have three extra bedrooms filled with brand new truck parts including a complete front end.

If you want to build a project there are ways of doing it, Just be creative.

Good Luck....
