A friend of mine has a '59 Ghia project she's been working on for over 20 years. At one point she was working on a flat six Corvair engine, but abandoned that when she realized VW fanatics don't like that sort of thing. A P-car motor is fine though.

Anyway, I think she's back to using a VW motor, and the car is gradually moving towards "completion". It will be really cool if it ever gets finished.
