Trey,
My .02
I've been working on two cars for several years, started both of them with my Daughter Kasey. We had hoped they would both be done long ago, she will soon be done with college, and is getting married in August.

I just turned 62 a few weeks ago and a think we started the 63 Fairlane when Kasey was 13. There are a lot of great memories invested in that car and I haven't touched it in 5 years. I am looking forward to starting it again and it may be 5 more.

These cars aren't meant to be a full time job, but a place to go, to relax, reflect on life, have fun with a loved one, a friend, go post a problem "or" success on a forum like Lat-G, and to get away from the stresses of everyday life.

I guess my point is most of us can go plunk down a down payment and get that second fun car, but we cant "buy-back" that car we sold we were frustrated with.

I've enjoyed your build posts, reply's to mine, and the forum banter. This sport is supposed to be a "get-away-from-the-BS that life throws at us" at least it is to me. Hopefully you keep your project and get something fun and "get back to the project" when you are ready.
