I am new to autocad and teaching myself how to use it, I am wanting to use it to build things like a custom tube frame for a dune buggy and roll cage for a car as well as other things like that. my question is what would be the best things to read, watch, download, etc. to learn how to use Autocad. 

I have several years experience reading and making basic blueprints so I understand things like that but I wanted to be able to draw it and be able to make changes to it and see hoe it would affect things. 

Not sure were to go so ANY help would be GREAT.

Wouldn't Fusion 360 be a better choice for this type of thing? 

If you are going to use AutoCAD you'll be doing this in 3D right?

There are many resources when it comes to learning AutoCAD on your own you can explore such as...

-static tutorials (free)
-video tutorials (free as well as those that come on CD for a price)
-AutoCAD help websites like this, CADTutor.net and mycadsite.com
-aftermarket AutoCAD books
-a mentor (ask around; someone you know may know someone else who actually uses AutoCAD as part of their job)

Where in the U.S. are you located?
