Pony - I've done a $hit load of work on my Stang myself, I've stayed away from the heads/intake/gears though - because I didn't feel comfortable with it, didn't have the time, and had the $$$ to pay my good friend to do it. I'll tell you this, this is my 7th car, and I've bought 6 of those 7 w/ my own $$$. My parents helped me get the 1st as I was 16 in H.S. - and it wasn't brand new. I work hard and sometimes can't find the time between work, construction on my house, time w/ my wife/family. I might not do all the work on my car, but I do think of myself as somewhat knowledgeable in even those areas I wouldn't touch........I might not be a real mechanic, but I can drive the $hit out of a car
