Snowballed. Good one, Sid!
Old car restoration comes in a close second to aerospace in the cost overrun
department! I've only got one roadster, but I hear rumblings from the
natives (Pam) that a second roadster would be 'nice'. OK, so I know better,
but if a month or so tinkering out in the garage <<insert laughter here>>
will promote marital bliss, then so be it :)
Thank heavens she wants a 1600. Can I pick em, or what?

Gary,
Those are harsh words. I don't think that he is too far removed from many
folks on this list (myself included) that have a desire to build their car
on their own. He bought a project and it snowballed. I am sure that many
on the list can relate. How many folks her have multiple roadsters? I have
3 at the house and most of 2 more elsewhere. None run - but one day a few
will.
