I started my birds restoration 24 months ago, now I'm stalled out trying to get back to work on it, and it seems like everyday me and my son n law get deeper involved with other cars, is this an addiction or what?
Feeling overwhelmed, possible addiction

First, welcome and thanks for sharing. That takes courage.
We understand, and the first step is admitting you are powerless over your addiction. You've lost your power to choose restoration or not. You simply cannot say no. There is hope.

I honestly believe it is. I have a hard enough time focusing on one car. The guy I bought my GTX from had at least a dozen a bodies and a yard full of motors and parts. He just kept collecting and collecting but didn't do much with 90% of it. It was neat looking around but absolutely set my resolve to not let a bunch of cars and parts run my life.
Have you ever seen the show Hoarders? Same thing with cars.

Could be worse. You could have a closet full of shoes or a bathroom with a cabinet full of mens cosmetics.

I know the feeling! Lots of people know that I like old cars so they keep telling me about more and I keep buying them! I have 6 to restore and at the rate I'm going I will have to live to be 100 to get them all done!

You got some nice looking Bodies there!
I'm kinda jealous cuz I only got 1.
If say you probably have enough for the time being so finish the RR then the Coronet.
I think lots of us have a lifetime of projects. I have 2 old Chebby trucks and 3 old tractors to do once my Coronet is finished

I have only one 69 Roadrunner I've been working on for 3 yrs or so. I see projects I would buy all the time, but I have no room for them. Wait...I could rent a storage space. Hmm.. just how to present that idea to the wife..
