Well here in upstate New York its still winter, we got snow this morning. And it's no fun wrenching when you can't feel your fingers. In addition, times are tough in my field of work, so the current job is paying 1/2 of what I usually make. Then to add to the angst, our monopoly public utility (NYSEG) has decided to raise my electric bill from $100 per month to $1000 per month (450 square foot house, has been vacant for 5 months), and there's nothing customers can do about it because public utilities in New York are unregulated and can charge as much as they want. So all those things together has ground the project to a very slow pace. At this time I'm just gathering parts and nice new power tools, and will start actually working on it when the weather warms up. But once things get going, it shouldn't take long to finish. Also, disclaimer, this car is not being restored, it's only getting repaired enough to be road-worthy. So the intent is not to make it a tire-melting high-horsepower show car hellion, the intent is to have a fun, beat-up (but correct) car to chug locally around town with.
I'm also thankful for all the great people on this website that are very helpful. Another thing that makes this project great is the immense availability of parts. I've had (have) cars in the past that had little to no forum support or parts availability, and that really takes the fun out of working on a project. (Example: I have a 1948 car that 97 were made, now all these years later, 33 exist; and 32 of those owners are elderly and dead/dying. So the result of that is that support and parts are non-existent, and body parts need to be fabricated because spare parts just don't exist.)
So in the end, all the project progress will be posted in the build thread for the car, as soon as things in life get better.... Thanks for asking!
