At least you're making progress, and you have a shop to work in, mine is on jackstands in a gravel driveway (covered now, with winter coming) and I haven't been able to drive it in 5 years.no_3 said:

Mine went from the drag strip to the bodyshop and is now stipped down for repaint. I am stacking parts up to the ceiling in the middle of the garage awaiting its return. I am so bored without my car I am reduced to fixing the leaks in the floor jack.

I got my 67 a little over 4 years ago, drove it once and havn't been able to since. It has been completely stripped(pretty much), bodywork, paint, and it is just now finnaly getting to the point where I can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel=(
Not as long as that pile of parts doesn't disappear before I get to it!WORTH said:another week or 2 and my 26X40 garage will be all insulated

Hmmmm......I've had my 'stang since 1984.......finally got it on the road in 1995, that's 11 years.1320stang said:8 months? HA!!! try 12 YEARS!!!
She was my daily driver for 5 years, took her off the road (due to illness, then to restore, again!) in early 2000.....it's been 5 years (give or take a couple of months........) since I last drove her...................
Now let's do the math....:
11 years + 5 years = 16 years!
2005* - 1984 = 21 years - 5 years DD = 16 years!
* ya, I know it's not 2005 yet, but we're close enough, and I KNOW I won't get my 'stang on the road in the next year, too much work, not enough time or $$$!

I've had mine since the fall of 1987. It was a running, driving 'stang with a damaged grille, hood, and front right fender. No damage to core support or inner fender. I bought a front clip minus the left front fender for it. I've probably put 2000 miles on the car driving it on and off, never a daily driver and no where near a years worth of road time. I've had it a little over 17 years, but it's easily been 12 since it's driven under it's own power. But, all but 1 of those years has been spent inside a garage, if I ain't savin' it for myself, I'm savin' it for someone else....

Golly, Man I feel the past three months have been an eternity. i get my Stang back this week. 
I am so excited.
Dude, just stick it out. It will all be worth it in the end.

I feel your pain. I got mine back two weeks ago from the body shop and I still have work to do. I had to turn off the money to the shop. So I will be learning all the nuances of body filler, wet sanding, primer, wetherstripping, door re-assembly, etc.
Make yourself little goals that are quickly achievable (I will finish this 1/4 panel this weekend). That way you feel good about accomplishing something and you keep moving towards the ultimate goal.
