Sadly, I haven't run since I blew up my head gaskets over three years ago. The damage is fixed, but the car is still apart. Covid (my wife and I are both old and she was immune-compromised at the time) and a complete remodel of my house have taken all my time. I blow the dust off the car every once and a while, but that's it.

I hope you find a way to do something on the car to move it forward. Even if it is only one small little thing. Maybe one small little thing each week or month. It can be very refreshing to get back at it a little at a time.
I’m in the same boat as you for some of the same reasons, but I am retiring soon and think I can focus on the car much more then. For now I’m trying to something on it each week, even if it is only order parts some of those times.

Good luck
Rob

When I start back on it, that's how I'll do it--eating the elephant one bite at a time. That's how I'm doing the house remodel--doing almost everything myself and learning as I go along. I hope to finish the remodel soon (never completely done with a 75-year-old house ). Once I start back on the race car, I know I'll get into it quickly.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.
