How old is your project?
2.5 yrs on the 65 Dart. Never drove it, but did start the engine once before I changed the cam & intake.
And I bought a '64 Valiant convertible today. My wife actually agreed to that! It will be finished ~2015 by my schedule, though it is a driver now.
I learned long ago not to rush a job. When you take a part off, do it once. Change all wearable items, repaint, etc. Don't ever back-track.
