It'll happen some day, I'm sure... I'd feel worse if it were sitting outside or something, but it's safe in a garage at least. I will say while my friend and I were messing with it, a Cardinal showed up and just would not leave. Also worth noting Pap's daily driver was a silver 2000 Town Car. My friend drives a nearly identical '99. Think Pap was checking in to see how it was going.

My advice to you, don't let the project bog down. Keep cleaning as time allows, and collect parts as money allows. Some of the best advice I ever received, try to do something every day. Sometimes it is small and insignificant, but it is progress. Avoid the mindset of "I can't afford it" and allow the car to collect dust. I think I'm fair to say everyone on this forum has experienced what you are going through.

Keep your head up and stay involved. By staying engaged, you never know what may come into your crosshairs. Again, I think many of us on the forum have gotten an olive branch from somebody who knows where you are at. I hope that makes some sense.
