From yor posts, you sound very successful since leaving flying and taking control of your destiny - which should help with the care and feeding of the aforementioned airplanes.
The Taylorcraft hurts me too much. I bought it in my 20's to help advance my career as an Alaskan Bush Pilot. My plan then was to then put it in the hangar until I became a major airline pilot then I would pay to have it professionally restored. Well the plan didn't work out and I can't bring myself to fly it, look at it or even to sit in it. In addition I live in a place that has strong winds. A spam can with a nose wheel and toe brakes would make it much easier to fly.
