The biggest thing is quality of workmanship.Most people(including myself) are very fussy over who works on thier car.What is considered a good job by some is a roadside repair to others.When I moved away from my engine builder of over 20 years I did alot of asking around to find the right guy to work on my car where I now live.The heck with impressive web sites,word of mouth got me to the right person.He was as fussy & meticulas as I am & even talked with me extensively to make sure we were both on the same page.In order to be successful you’ll have to be the same way-Good Luck!

I have a dodge 1951.. and no one to teach me how to fix it.. so when I need to fix something i really have to go for it, since there is no going back.. good luck.. and just go for it.. many community colleges offer classes and its a great way to get your hands on practice

chose a vintage car you would like to own and buy a manual for that car and place it near the toilette and learn as you well whatever.

if you want to restore there are books or enthuist chats or message boards online for the car you like.

yes you can make a good living if you are very good at what you do . there is a lot of classic car shops all over the U.S.A. and some muscle car shops also but you are talking about people that are very fussy so again you must be very good at it, not just a guy that has built is own car and that of a few buddies.

Its possible you could make a living off of that but you will either have to find a shop that specializes in that sort of thing or start your own business.
