Default I understand......

24 yrs........I know what you mean! Life happens!

I've had a '55 Bel Air since '82, and its still not on the road. It sat under a tarp for yrs while I was raising 3 kids, going to every sporting event/musical/etc. that you can imagine, and then put every one of them thru college, out of pocket, w/o student loans. The '55 was at the bottom of the priority list. I was able to find time to work on it and spend a few $$'s on it occasionally, but it still needs a lot of stuff (glass, interior, paint, etc). It will be a hotrod/mild custom when I'm done. Now, its on the back burner again, because I'm building my FFR roadster. I figured I could get the roadster completed and on the road quicker/sooner and be enjoying it, and finish the '55 later. I've been working on the roadster 2.3 yrs, now in go-kart mode, and close to installing the body. My wife (like yours) is very supportive and just wants me to get one of them finished so we can go for a ride!

You are on the right track! Congrats!!
