I move slowly.

No kidding. I've been watching this car for YEARS now. Pretty much gave up.

Helped a friend with his GTO that had been sitting 20 years not running.....he was 15 years younger than I at the time (37 and I was 52) and he said he'd get to it one of these days, that most of the men in his family lived into their 90's, so there was no rush. I got my foot up his ass and we had the car running and on the road in about a year. He's been enjoying it with his family for the past 8 years or so. He's now almost 48. Time waits for no one.

During the past 5 years I’ve brought 2 of my old VW Type 2s (panel bus and pickup) back from 26 years of slumber. The panel took 1-1/2 years of my spare time and the pickup took about a year. I let them sit that long because of my new interest, the Pontiac hobby.

Presently switching back and forth between the Le Mans and my 1957 bug project which is a complete body off the floor pan redo. I can’t seem to focus on just one, I have too many different interests and car styles that I like. My LS3 Tempest sits under a cover next to the Le Mans patiently waiting its turn.

The best thing about the car hobby is they don’t complain and just sit silently until they get attention again.

I never give up, I just keep too many irons in the fire.
