Plus, the time is a big factor and my physical and health conditions prevent me from doing what I once did - did you ever think of that?

I relish the idea of beating the crap out of you whinners, who think less of me, because I can not do, what I once did with my hands, but I still can do with my mind

Enough said
So what's wrong with letting someone do some of the work,like the fuel valve and weight
box in your garage with you supervising the work.I'm sorry to hear you can't physically do some of it yourself but wouldn't you feel more involved by supervising the finish work yourself?
I had an industrial accident in 1998 that left me with a broken L-5 vertebrae,my neurogolist told me I'd never be able to pick up more that 10-20 lbs.I hate when someone tells me I can't do something.I can pick up way more than that now.I'll be 66 next month and realise I don't have the stamina I used to have,but I'll be damned if I going to roll over and vegatate away.
Besides,you're only one of the large bunch who have these new cars.There's some out there who are healthy enough to do their cars,but they're either just shell out the money cause they can or don't have the skills to do the work and that's fine.My point is years ago the average S/SS racer didn't farm their cars out,they built them themselves.That is not the case anymore.
