Rip Van Winkle projects

How many of you have had your project go to sleep for more that a year? Pictures required.

One of mine at 5 years. I almost want to tuck it in and put a pillow under the front end. One of my good intentions and got busy with everything else. Its amazing how something that big turns invisible for that long.

I was diagnosed with cancer just days more than a year ago. All my projects have been asleep since then and I'm just now starting to believe I'll be picking them up again.

steve were praying for your health to return! as a cancer survivor also(18 years) the old vehicles kinda slide down the priority list a ways.
