You will be fine. While I have always loved cars, I have limited mechanical knowledge but have done others things in life that have been as challenging and that never stopped me. A huge and I mean huge help is this forum and the other one and the awesome people on both. From professional painters to builders to the weekend gear head, the knowledge is vast and they are always willing to help. I suggest reviewing some build threads in detail as there are many that give great guidance. Take a look a EdwardB's build thread and how much detail he goes in as an example. Jeff Kleiner (JKleiner) is another great resource as well as Mike Everson, the list goes on and on.
