Matt.
Get the car running.
Finish whatever cosmetic work you want to do to it for appearence.
Continue to tinker with it from time to time until you are 17 years old.
Get your license, drive the car as is, and enjoy a vehicle that runs because there isn't anything special in it to break.
When you are, oh, 30 and have disposable income for something other than bills and retirement, then contemplate stupid stuff like flamethrowers and other **** that will kill you before you reach 35.
I think you need someone to seriously have a talk with you about your future. Or, if you truly do have an appreciation for money and responsibility, then consider limiting your own posts to this forum to serious technical questions about things you are working on now. The less you post, the fewer chances for people to make fun of you. Ask serious questions, get serious answers. Pose silly questions... enjoy the abuse.
