I agree completely.
I especially miss the hours spent on the side of the road waiting on a flatbed.
I did the nut/bolt restoration on a 67 Mustang. It took 10 years. I started a nut/bolt on my 72 P, but I outsourced several things. I did it myself if I had the time and if I could do the work to an acceptable level. If I didn't have the time or if it was over my head, I paid someone else to do it. The only exception is the headers, which I want to do to as a challenge to myself. I have 4 primaries done. 4 more to go, plus cleaning it up, and the collectors/mufflers which should be very easy in comparison.
