Does your instructor call himself a Professor?? lol The best bit of advice is. Do NOT start with your favorite vehicle!!! A lot of people want to start on a classic or the family heirloom.
You would not let someone with your amount of experience learn on your pride and joy. Don't do it yourself, save the good project for later after you build the skills to do it right.
Please be a good consumer of your education, there are a lot of people out there that have been "doing it for 30 years". Yes, some have been scabing stuff together for 30 years, but it doesn't mean they are doing it right.
It sounds like you are in school right now, that is a great place to start. Find the people who are building the vehicles you would like to build and hang out with them. With todays technology you can get education from schools, the internet, videos, as well as other builders.
Good luck...

Yeah I'm in school at Skyline college in the automotive division. Been talking to a lot of people who bring classics to work on there and they do offer lots of tips! I mainly need more space to work on it and more equipment, some of which can be very expensive! As an 18 y/o college student, that can be hard to come by haha

As far as the tools and equipment goes, I always check the yard/garage sales and the pawn shops.
