I run into this all of the time in my shop as well, I alwalys try to get payments as large parts of the job get done, or at "milestones" as you called it. I would just simply call him, ask him what his intentions are, and tell him what your intentions are. He may be in a stituation , where he is out of money, and in that case, I would kindly ask him to find his own storage unitll he is ready to move on to completion.
People always run out of money , or loose interest when their car is in the middle stages of an overhaul,/restoration, they are shelling out money hand over fist, and to them looks as if the project will never get done .
I have a similar car in my way right now. All I need is $1500.00, and I could finish up in two days, but I am not the bank, I am waiting untill he has the money to pay.
On the other hand , projects like this, are always nice to have around for those occasional slow times where nothing is going on, and you can use it for some filler work.
I dont mind floating my labor charges , I just hate shelling out money for parts/ supplies, and having to sit on it for 6 months.
