anybody on here ever feel overwhelmed with their project

Wake up man! Snap out of it! Sounds like you just need a swift kick in the ***...
Sure life gets in the way. I was in my 50's before I could even start - and the car had been sitting in the garage for almost 20 years at that point! I was damn near 60 when I completed the Duster.

Anyhow, I don't know how large Abilene Tx is, but surely there are car clubs and car shows to look into. They don't have to be Mopar specific. Most all the car shows I attend are not restricted to one mfgr. They are good places to meet car guys and just talk. Might be a guy with a Camaro or Mustang - they might have a Mopar or likely know someone with a Mopar (note- this doesn't apply if it is someone in the middle of a Mustang club at a car show). Stop at a couple body shops and see where they suggest taking an old classic to, and go to that shop to see if there are any Mopars being worked on, or had been that they could share owner info on. Hell, place a Craigslist wanted ad!

In the meantime, enjoy the family and the obligations that come with it. Get your son or daughter or the wife to help you clean up the shop or a few parts for the next step. Take the family to a car show, but don't keep them so long they get bored with it - stop and get a cheeseburger on the way home so they equate car shows with fun.

You'll get there, determination.
