you dont need to take a class, thats overkill if you just want to help your dad work on his car or better your skills.

If you want to help your dad with his GTO I'd suggest reading up on some GTO specific forums or buying a manual reading everything on it and then just doing it.

example: there's this dude on youtube I watch who did a 2jz-gte swap into his Toyota Cressida all by himself, his dad taught him the basics but everything that had to do with the swap, he learned all himself through the power of the internet.

You have to look at cars like Legos, specifically the older cars.

Also I should add, mind you I'm still learning about cars and I'm teaching myself all this shit.

You have the internet at your fingertips and there are so many automotive related forums its not even funny. So utilize your iphone/android for the better

the GTO is in storage right now, there was a fire 2 years ago and it got a tad scorched, so it is a bit out of reach at the moment, would you say a 97 dodge neon counts as an older car? that's what I own and could mess around with if I wanted, obviously i'm a bit of a poorfag so nothing super expensive, but is there like, a good place to start I guess? do you think there'd be anything online about people working on them? so far I've seen people mess with replacing the stereo but that's it.

is learning car specific things a good start or learning about basics for all cars first?

Junk yard. Go to a you pull it joint, pay the $3 or so and take cars apart.

I feel like the latino folk around here would pick those places clean every morning by 15 minutes after opening, I live in los angeles county, but that isn't a bad idea at all

There's plenty of videos on youtube for learning the basics.
These are worth checking out: https://www.youtube.com/user/EngineeringExplained/playlists?flow=grid&view=50&shelf_id=2
I also recommend giving briansmobile1 and chrisfix a look.

been browsing the neons.org site trying to understand what parts to replace first, some of it seems complicated tho

Go back in time and go to a High School with an automotive class and dick around when the teacher isn't looking.
I'm pretty sure some colleges offer some classes though
I dunno, go ask yer dad to show you shit before he gone.

he doesn't know that much, meanwhile his brother makes performance engines for a living. mostly for drag boats, flat bottom alcohol I think is the class, pretty big and loud that's for sure
