Anyone Abandon Their Project?

Powerball jackpot tomorrow is up to 1B, so there's always that!
Plenty of money to finish your car and buy a whole warehouse full of prime cudas to keep it company.  Just need to beat those 1 in 290,000,000 odds. 
No problem!

I have been trying!!!!!

Your already into it so to say , so on the bright side you will know the car is solid when your done. Buying another car maybe not so much , lipstick on a pig can be a issue.... Imagine buying another car then after a few years the paint starts bubbling..... engine issues etc....
Money is always a reality for most of us but if you can stick with it, you will have a solid car when your done. Might take a loss if you sold it but most of us are in it for the love of the car not the resale value. While there is not a uHaul behind your Hearst  with all your money in it, there also is not a flatbed with your car on  it.
Enjoy what you love while your here!

Keep at it. Plow through all those "sick to your stomach episode's." I did. Six years of it. I took breaks to regroup then I was ready to go again. Now I'm down to the engine fire up any day now.

Lots of $$$ and time invested but at this point... I'm going to finish it! Once it's done, all of that anxiety and frustration will disappear. Nothing but job satisfaction from then on. 

From a shell to engine start.

I think if you abandon the project, you'll regret it sooner or later. Don't do all that work and let someone else finish and take the credit. 

It's your Cuda, finish it. JMHO.

Once it's complete you'll have something.  Keep that in mind...  If you sell it you'll be behind again.

Tuff choice, but the bright side is you seem to be thinking either keep going or turn it over into a driver. I just am literally doing the last few items for my Cuda restoration and it has been 5 years and about 70k over budget. Thought I could do it for under 100k being able to do all the work except final paint and the top. So moral my story for you is if you think it's going to be 50k more it will be 70k more. If that's too much than you have gotten good advice on how to get out of the project. There were times I wanted to get out of mine for money issues and wife issues as well as health issues.
But now when banging into 2nd with
A huge smile makes me look forward to this coming season for shows and drives. Good luck with your decision
