First of all, Sorry about your pain. I was lucky enough to avoid that problem by 1) not having enough space, 2) not having enough money, 3) a wife that would not tolerate 1 and 2 above. You need to consider that was is done is essentially a "sunk cost". The money has been spent and you will not get it back. Pick the vehicle that you want (I can't help you here) and sell the rest. That puts actual money in your pocket and clears out some space and stress. I learned in school many moons ago that the stress of having to make a decision can be very overwhelming. Once the decision is made, the stress is eliminated, no matter which way you go. I have seen this in myself many times and it is true. I had not worked on any old cars for 25 years. I found my 56 Chevy and spent 3 years on it until it was done. I set aside the funds that my wife and I agreed on and let her know that I was off on the cost, times had changed. I finished it. Now I am into the 48PW 3 1/2 years and it is 80% done. By the way, my wife loves the car. We went to Reno in it and We are going on a valentines date today in it. You my have to consider Happy Wife Happy Life. My wife is not the type to love the PW for cruising. That is my toy. Last forget about saving something for you kid. When he is ready, a begs you to help him with a project that HE can afford, go out together a find something. he is more apt to working on his own project, than finish up yours.
