I’m in the same boat,@joebarthlow. My ‘74 has been sitting in body shop limbo. I bought the ‘73 to get me by, and in those three years I have lost my job, survived a hurricane and was diagnosed with cancer. Not a day passes without thinking of cutting bait on the ‘74 project, but I talk myself out of doing so.
To the OP, do what your heart tells you. In my 40+ years playing with these cars I have sold several unfinished projects. Some I still regret doing so, but most I don’t.
