There are others that do things slowly over a decade or more, and come out with beautiful cars. Those are my favorite stories at the concourse shows.

Don't worry, from looking at your pictures (and stories), I can definitely tell you are sentimental over cars.  I guess if I knew Chase was going on to a great home, like your former cars have, I'd feel better, but I don't think anyone would want to take this car on as anything other than a parts car, realistically. Kind of like I'm the only one who could love this car. I know it's just a car, but I'd feel so awful just giving up on it. I'd never get the thought of it going in the crusher out of my mind. 
I usually like to jump in on things, and hate to leave them sitting, but this is a really bad time for me to make big decisions. I got run out of my home by my landlady and am still fighting that battle, pushed in with my parents (financially, not the worst deal, I'll admit), job is terrible, other stuff ... when I get past these things I may have a better outlook, and a project car might be a great thing for me. So leaving it the garage a while is probably the best thing to do, I think.
