Throwing in the towel on a project?

First off, putting family first shows you have good judgement. They are the only ones that are them. Cars come and go. They can be changed like socks........I’ve been through a few lately!
So in my opinion, if you feel this fellow will do good things for you and your car that will help get it closer to the finished product, by all means, send it over to him.
At least you still want it to move forward. We all know they can sit forever. But if you have a plan, go for it.
