How do I get into the car world?

Only answer this question if you have legitimately worked on cars before (like actually supped up a car not just changed a tire) Alright I have basically no knowledge about cars. I mean I know how an engine works and all the main components of an engine, but thats about it. So how do I start working on cars. I don't want to make a car that has like 650 ponies. I want to take an older car and make it like new again and replace engine parts and do some body work. So where should I begin? My dad suggested buying a car from a junkyard just to tinker with the engine. Anyways, what is my first step to getting into cars?
