Along similar lines I have a `72 bb drop-top out in the supposed
two-car garage.  Now it shares space with my two bikes, but that is
about all that is out there.  It has been years since the car was on
the road and will probably be years more before it is again.  The body
is off and suspended, the frame is one a set of used rims with some
old beater tires and the engine is on an engine stand.  The rest of it
is in a box here and a box there.  There are also various coffee cans
of nuts, bolts, and screws.  Everything is labeled so I know what is
what and where it should go back.  It is a on-going stop & go project.
With two kids in University it doesn't get an awful lot of money spent
on it, but I clean a part here, find a part there and one day will be
all wrenched back together.  I still haven't 100% decided if it will
be put back together 100% original or my version of ideal.  For
example it didn't come with side-pipes, but I have a set for it.  The
color is still up in the air as either a correct paint for the year,
or a color I happen to like.  If I had the money today to send it out
for paint there is a real good chance it would end up `06 Desert
Orange Metallic.  The local dealer has one on the showroom floor in
that color and I fell in lust.  The one thing I can tell you is that
car will never ever be sold and isn't being done to be sold or make
money on.  If I ever become the ancient doddering old fool physically
and can't shift it anymore, I'll swap out the 4-speed for an auto.
Hell I might have myself buried in it.

Along similar lines my neighbor has a `57 Chevy is his garage that is
100% original & stock.  He hasn't touched it in the ten years I have
lived here.  He says it is his retirement project.  We are both heard
to say "one day, one day soon" very often.  Kids can interrupt
projects like these quite often.  With what I have paid in tuition I
could have paid someone to do one sweet restro a long time ago.
