Spherical bearings are awesome.
Mig welders are awesome.
Swivle extensions are awesome.
Gear/Ratchet wrenches are awesome.
Air tools make everything easier.
Always use jackstands.
Being able to unbolt the core support makes putting an engine in a million times easier, especially if you're not using a load leveler.
Airbag dust is extremely harmful to your nose.
Don't rush things.
Buy legit parts.
Washing your car is the best way to make it faster.

1) interior parts have tone of tabs that can be easily broken. only do a very slight wrist tight when screwing in bolts and screws. and take precaution when removing the plastic parts to avoid breaking more tabs.
2) dont assume deer will run the other way when you are driving, they are just as likely to t-bone your car while along side of you. s-chassis are magnets for accidents.
3) s-chassis will never have a quiet interior, no matter how much you Dynamat that bitch.
4) an FSM can save your balls.

is it just me, or does the car seem to run better after a full blown interior/exterior detail? it's like it's saying "Thanks marshall for making me clean, i'll run real smooth for you till i get dirty, then I'll start breaking things again"
need to remove a stud?
take two nuts
thread both on to stud
tighten against each other
open ended wrench on inside stud
righty tighty lefty loosy
vise grips are for pussies
ratcheting wrenches with flex ends are the win (see Gearwrench)
proper set of tools will get any job done with minimal issue
learn wiring/soldering, it will save your life
get a set of handled pry bars, trust me
always check fluids (bye bye SR)
Rotella T 15w40 is the shit
clutch kick into parking spots
say no to rattle canning
