I hate to disabuse you of the idea that you will have more time when you are retired. Here's what happens. Everyone will know that you are retired and need something to occupy your time. Everyone will have a good cause that you would best especially qualified for. Therefore, you will have many opportunities to help/serve these good causes. Once things settle down, and you have tried several of these jobs, you find that the car restoration has moved down the priority list and you never quite get to it. You may have to reprioritize several times before you actually spend much time on the car.
You can easily tell if you are in the "good cause" mode because more people keep asking for more of your time and little gets done on the car. A sure sign of being "good caused"is when someone asks you what you are doing with your retirement and you cannot think of a single significant thing.
Good Luck and enjoy your retirment.
