Default Whats my project worth?

I have a 67 427 390hp power glide car-frame off resto with the frame-chassis-engine trans-gas tank all new and restored-new redline bias ply tires on 67 corvette rallys-have tank sticker still on old tank-engine has the right numbers but has no stamp.
Body is stripped and needs paint and some areas to be redone-have all the chrome and interior but that will have to be restored as well-body is not on the chassis but soon will be for transport.
factory color Green exterior Tan inside.
This was a 1 year project that the shop it was at turned in into a 2+ year project with no end in sight and right now I am looking at getting rid of it as it sits.


thanks in advance

You will loose your azz if you can't finish it. Just my 2 cents as it sits mid 30's

Find another shop or you'll be giving it away. Even if they did finish it you'd be losing bucks but at least you could enjoy the car. Projects are worth pennies on the dollar.

convertible
I live in Wisconsin and the car is in Florida-I have to tread very carefull with the tank and sticker still at this shop,I would love to finish this but I guess I am just getting too old for the fight.
I do not think that this car being restored would be worth pennys on the dollar.

I didn't say it was. I said PROJECTS are worth pennies on the dollar, project, as in your car NOT yet restored. Best of luck to you.
