Do I ever plan on finishing my car? I just keep putting projects in the way. What's it going to take to get me to put this baby back on the road?

Just passed the three year mark. Two cars, completely stripped to bare metal tubs and back, NOS parts that are like questing for the holy grail . . . I am at the reassembly stage for both.
