I got my foot up his ass and we had the car running and on the road in about a year. He's been enjoying it with his family for the past 8 years or so. He's now almost 48. Time waits for no one.

During the past 5 years I’ve brought 2 of my old VW Type 2s (panel bus and pickup) back from 26 years of slumber. The panel took 1-1/2 years of my spare time and the pickup took about a year. I let them sit that long because of my new interest, the Pontiac hobby.
Presently switching back and forth between the Le Mans and my 1957 bug project which is a complete body off the floor pan redo. I can’t seem to focus on just one, I have too many different interests and car styles that I like. My LS3 Tempest sits under a cover next to the Le Mans patiently waiting its turn.
The best thing about the car hobby is they don’t complain and just sit silently until they get attention again.
I never give up, I just keep too many irons in the fire.
