My main thing to convince the wife is that it needs to be driveable or at least easily moved. I don't have spare garage space so it might sit under a cover in the driveway at times, but mostly garaged. If i can't fix brakes, engine,, wiring and keep it roadworthy as I go I'm probably barking up the wrong tree. Love the 46- early 50's. Really love the mid-fifties but I suspect those are even more expensive to get hands on.
