I think you are doing fine for your age. Inspect the work that was done by Larry, Moe and Curly's crew and if they did not replace those bolts go and pick some up and replace them yourself while the are still possibly easy to remove. And always, always, always inspect the work done by any mechanic and especially that done at the quicky discount shops!
At 16 I had already rebuilt an entire engine on my own.

Hey Alloro, this is a truck forum, not lawn mowers, go karts or scooters.

The rebuild I referred to at 16 was the 340 engine out of my 1973 Plymouth Duster shown below.

Yes and no. Yes because I liked the car, but no because I'd be tempted to sell it. Those in good shape are currently going for $20K - $25K. Those in excellent shape are topping $30K.

I understand, I sold my '67 427 "R" code Cyclone with 5,500 original miles on it about 10 years ago and I miss it greatly. I won't watch the Barrett-Jackson auctions because I'm afraid I'll see it go for more than 10 times what I sold it for.
