best lawn mower popular mechanics image

I'm a junior in high school and i've always wanted to build a car and i decided that i wanted to start doing that now. I'm trying to find a place where i can buy all of the pieces that i need including engine, doors, exhaust pipe, mirrors, etc. I'm also trying to find it for a reasonable price. I appreciate any help that I get.
subwoofer: do you know of any websites where i can find all of the parts for one car at the same place?

Whoa!!! before we take this trip let's see where we want to wind up.
Example: Did you go for 'track' in school? First you had to learn to walk...then graduated up from there. Have you ever owned or driven a go-cart? Have you ever watched lawn-mower races?
Just like learning to walk...start out slowly & gain experience by practice. Exercise your imagination.
Read, Read, Read. Pick up a Popular Mechanics mag. Look in the small ads in the back. You may be able to buy plans for a 4 wheeled pedal car. They have ones made with bicycle wheels. Build one to experience how the steering design effects it's derivability. You'll appreciate the effects of gearing ratio changes. You can improve it's ride, handling, steering & braking by changing it's design slightly. When you're satisfied, ad an engine. Get an old worn out engine (cast iron from a garden tractor) & rebuild it. The clutch can be from a 'V' belt tightened by a spring & released by your new clutch pedal. At this point you'll be so involved (driven) that you won't be able to sleep at night. By driving it & altering its design you'll develop the 'feel' of what works & how. Cars are like people. They're all just a little different. You are. Most guys your age only knows where to put the gas & ignition key in & they never thought any further than that. A car is the biggest expense in your future. Understand it. NOW is the time. You have the Internet to do research on. You pump iron to make your arms work better. Think about the muscle between your ears. Exercise it to help IT work better. Buy a small MIG welder. Learn to weld. Pick up some old bikes at a flea market for parts. Look at go kart cataloges for parts that may work. If one of your friends think you're funny, ask him to see what he has built.
Been there-done this. I'm an old motor head. I thought America's 'Special' people had gone to sleep or were all brain dead. I'm glad to see that America lives. Never give up! Give'em hell.
