Thanks!
The reason it sat for 2 years was much more that having the ‘66 arrive. We were supporting my wife’s brother (emotionally and financially) through his stage 4 liver cancer, liver transplant and eventual death while at the same time my father was slowly dying of advanced Alzheimer’s.
They both passed within a year of each other so for that period my priority was dramatically shifted away from anything to do with the old cars during that time. The end came for my Father last Winter and then it was 9 months of trying to settle his estate amongst the madness of my wicked money grubbing sisters. I also lost my Job in September.
By late last October, everything had been resolved (including a new job) and that’s when I was finally able to get back to the ‘69.
Sometimes life just gets in the way and priorities have to change...for a while at least.
