It's still going on ... ask me again when it gets back from a Southern California resort vacation for some "reverse liposuction."

I have owned mine for about 2.5 years and I haven't even started yet. I knew I wouldn't be able to start for a few years so I have been planning, buying parts here and there and waiting patiently. Looking forward to getting the ball rolling in the coming months. I am not sure at what point I will start the clock though.

Come on now Mary. You can't just show up and throw that out there. I mean, Jenny Craig and all...

My 66 has been with me for the last 15 years. So far 3 engines, 5 tranny's, 2 axles, and 3 driveshafts (finally got smart and went Denny's!!).

Around 18 months ago I finally got serious. I started a frame off of the pro-touring kind so as to have a ride that my daughter and I could spend time attending events and having fun. She's helped pick the wheels, seats, color, etc. I probably have another 2 years to go and so far it's been a blast.

Even after this phase is done, I doubt it will be the last.....

My car has been in the shop since 2007 and is just now starting to look like it may be done soon.

They are never really "done". My Camaro took 3 1/2 years with a lot of hard work by some really good people.

I bought my current project '68 Camaro in November 2002; built and sold another '68 Camaro (the so-called "practice car") in the meantime; probably got started seriously in 2006 or so; hope to get it on the road by mid-September of this year.
