16yrs old, first car advise?!

I really appreciate all the positive feedback! I am definitely having fun building it, yes. And I think it will be one cool car when I'm done with it. I have a friend who will help me put in the big block (mopar expert). I'm going to Carlisle next month to pick up all the stuff I need to place the big block in. With what I'm hearing I should be able to get enough out of the trans to fund a new trans.
