Questions RE future of hobby

[Clyde65]

I have enjoyed reading everyone's opinions on this, some are very interesting while others hit home pretty much. My dad restored a 1930 Chevrolet 2door sedan about 25 years ago, I helped some with the heavy work but kids and job hours didnt lend to much else. He did the entire thing, paint and all himself. He then restored/built his 64 C20 Crew Cab and let someone else do the paint, just because of space.

Space, there is a hurdle for many, I bought an old travel trailer to restore and pull behind my 65 SWB. I needed somewhere to repair the rotten wood, so I bought a 20X20 garage ( $6K) put a slab down to support it ( 2500), then wired it ( $500), then HAD to insulate ( $2500) and then I had a great place to work on my trailer.....but after $12k, I havent even touched the trailer. When I am done with the trailer, my plan is to park the trailer and the truck in the garage for safe keeping and take them both to state parks and camp...but I now have to restore the trailer.....
