    First question. Are you married.
    A detailed car chassis motor manual is better than pics.
    Just do it. Forget about time or how long it will take. It all depends on your drive and ambition. And your skill. How much you have to outsource. Money. How organized are you? Do you have a good memory?
    How much of a perfectionist are you? Too many things to consider for anyone other than you to know how long it will take. After you consider everything and think you have time frame. Double it.

    Hell I think im late a bit. You started this in 2005?
    Are you still married? Have you met your expectations? I hope its going well.

    Frank, time to check in and let us know how your doing and how the car is coming along. I’ve been following the resto for 14 years, I’d like to see the finish.

    Glad you are doing things! I had a stroke at 48 (1998) luckily got the problem semi-solved but still have limits.
    Do as the doc tells you and do not push yourself too hard :)

    Good luck with your ride ! :)
