You are so right about my "lotta irons in the fire."
The Impala is still at the paint/body shop, although it is close to being ready to roll. The upholstery shop has finished the seats and the side trim - actually long ago - and they are waiting for the car to arrive from the body shop so they can do their thing. They will install carpet, seats, headliner and all the trim pieces. Then it needs all the suspension bushings replaced. I built an engine for the car - it's in my garage - but I'll probably drive it for a minute with the stock 327 before I drop in my engine.

I'm also building the 455 for my Cutlass. The last engine lasted eight years, which is pretty good for an engine like that. And it came out running, bearings in good shape and really still could have lasted a while longer. But I felt it was time for a rebuild. It's not cool to let an engine like that get old, in my opinion. Keep its bark sharp.
Lastly, I've been on an antique computer kick. I've been doing a lot of work on old 1970s computers. My latest thing is old Altairs. I just love computers from that era!
