Actually, Bob, that sounds pretty normal. Not _sane_, mind you, but
normal for people of our ilk. It seems that since the time I graduated
from school and got a real life (ie, could afford a garage) I've had a
GT6 in multiple pieces in my garage, sometimes including a frame leaning
against the wall next to a body shell, within viewing distance of the
engine ...
