You are exactly where I was about 15 years ago and I figured out how to get the best of both worlds. I kept plugging along on a non-donor component build. Sometimes the body would be hanging from the rafters and the frame and engine would be used for storage - for months at a time.

All three boys required a loooooot of time - actually my choice, not necessarily theirs. It took FOURTEEN years to get it on the road. It was actually the first Cobra I ever drove! It was worth every minute, hour, day, month, and year working on it. Unfortunately, it got stolen with less than 500 miles on it.

The next build took about 10 months and I'm driving it almost daily (with the Lojack).

I think that if you sell it now, you will never have your car. There will always be something that postpones it. When the kids are in bed, work on it for an hour a day. Don't have the goal of a finished car in mind, have the next step as a goal - wipers, hinges, driveshaft - whatever. Turn on the radio, get a glass of wine, a cup of coffee and plug away. It's worth it.

Don't give up.

Brian
