new kid

hi there, i know 18 is kinda young for P.T. but i have just realized that i CAN raise my personal expectations.
my dads been stationed in germany for the last 2-1/2 years, since we got here i started seeing porsches, ferraries, lambos, bentleys, maseraties, lotus', just the higher end in general and fell in love with the mountains that they can go through w/o a problem.

i just recently got turned onto P.T. but dont think that its right for my grad present, im getting a '79 nova in a couple months, for it i plan on droppin in a 350 based on popular hot roddings budget sledgehammer build, then just goin with the muscle car style for it, mabye get a little P.T. susp influence in there.

but i really want to get into building P.T. cars later on or possibly a as career.
i just want to know what most shop owners have to be backed my financially, how much it costs to get started, open a shop, school, etc.
or am i a little too ambitious, and just go into the army and start up slowly as a hobby?
