Wow, I think this is a VMF first!
Gotta side with your wife though (ex-wife?), family and financial security is more important than messing with Stangs. That's why I didn't get into this Stang thing till my 40's, and after 16 years of marriage. I am now in a position to swing the money part without affecting the family, but the time it takes still gets to them a little. I finished up the 66 last summer, and as much as I want to dive into another resto project, I realize I've got to wait for the 66 experience to fade into their memory before doing it all over.
Sorry to hear about the wife, good luck with whatever the future holds for you.
