When does money outweigh sentimental value? 1968 notchback build thread

The greatest pitfall We have as We grow up is our awareness of things
that just didn't matter as much when We were younger.We become perfectionists
about things that were secondary,or not even on our radar,back then.Partly because
We know so much more now,and partly because the values of our cars have made
them worthy of much better restos than they used to get.I have witnessed more
than a couple perfectionist projects stall because of $,time,or circumstance,and any
combination of these.
Rusty's right,one section at a time,but don't turn it into a two and a half
year rotisserie project,get that thing runnin' and driveable. I would concentrate on
all of the glass frame metalwork,and then trunk seal /door areas,and get them painted
/sealed so that you have a car again w/ the drivetrain in and worked out.
Then you can choose and pick-off the rest of the project one thing at a
time.I junked My 1st hotrod because I had just finished doing another car,and the
hard way.The parts weren't available to do the job the way We are blessed to be
able to now.But I street raced that thing relentlessly,cruised,and had the most fun
of My life in it,and it was far from perfect.THAT's what made it special,driving it.
