Thanks for the response Johnny.
I'm a Project Manager by profession and usually manage several projects at the same time where I work. Tracking expenses and doing so by "categories/sections" is one part of project management. With Excel, that's fairly easy to do and certainly the most cost effective way to track expenses if you have it on your computer.
I sometimes use Microsoft "Project" software at work to track large, complex and long time line jobs. I may have a job that needs to be done in maybe...six months. I will start backwards from completetion date and work forward to the actual starting date with "time lines" for each function with critical deadline dates that need to be done before the next phase can begin. This is a very complex software and wouldn't suit a Healey restoration without much modification.
I was hoping to find something available that I could enter a "completion date" of say three years and would give me all the phases that I would need to begin work by categories
with time lines of each phase. Somewhere, you need to start dismantling the car and there should be a completion date for that with a numbered sequence for each section of dismantling, inspection and maybe a projected cost for repairs, refinishing and/or replacing and a projected amount of time to do each item.
I think it would be great to track with the whole car restoration to produce the most efficient and best use of time to insure it is completed on time and on budget(might be dreaming on budget). Once the car is completely dismantled and the chassis and body sent out to be done, there's many things that a person could do with the car out of the garage such as overhaul the engine, etc. wiring harness repair/replacement, etc.
I hope this gives a better idea of what I'm looking for and maybe we can find some people that have actually purchased available software and modified it for a Healey.
Some that I have found but haven't pursued...yet:
