Ok just to let everyone know. I am only 16 and I am in high school so I don't really own my own car yet. But I NEED HELP. I am doing a project in my Auto Shop class and we have to build model cars and then research that car. My choice was a '95 Mustang GT. What I need from all the friendly people on this site are sites where I can find information. All the sites that I have been to have been asking me to buy the car. So that's not good:nono:. So if anyone knows of any sites where I can get enough information for a good grade. I'd really appreciate it. Thank you all so very much.

Shop class having to build model cars? Do reports? Thats a lot different from how my shop class was...the only reporting you did was tell the teacher you were done with rebuilding whatever part your unit was on.
